General and diplomat arrived with the monarch but are visitors, and they don't seem to be leaving or becoming citizens.

I have asked this in the questions thread and got no answer, so I am posting here. I remember his bug from olden times, and this is the first time I've seen it in such a new version. Our queen arrived without issue, and even their elite guards followed because I had increased the population cap in preparation. However, the diplomat and the general of our civilization arrived as visitors and have no visit vector attached to them, so they display "This visitor has come [Blank]." They do nothing and get annoyed about their room requirements not being met, despite not being linked to my site group. I tried arranging a ballista accident in a savescummed file, and their replacements arrived about an IRL minute later, doing the same thing. Sometimes they leave, settle in their original site in legends, then come back, doing their slow, bugged sprawl.

DFhack's makeown doesn't add a settlement entry in legends, and it probably just makes things more buggy. Plus, the diplomat keeps doing the lobotomite route even when attached to a workshop and ordered to do something of high priority. What even is the best thing to do, wall them and have them slam the walls for eternity because visitors don't starve? Use makeown and work with a lobotomite? I am sighing as I am asking this.

Needless to say, despite no need for a good meal, no recent food thought, and not feeling anything about the stair decorations (Lower part of the screenshot.), he was just built different. I would have made him a baron if he dropped by a few waves earlier; he will be the champion now.
