If you assign any migrant dwarf to the military before he moves any squares at all, he will simply freeze in place. It could potentially apply to immigrant soldiers as well. I didn't think to test it out with fortress/royal guards, and I already had enough trouble getting immigrants so I wasn't going to see if they would starve to death or wait until immigrant status came off.

It can be fixed by deactivating the dwarf, letting him move, and re-activating him. Unfortunatly, this can cause quite a few unhappy thoughts (quickly soothed by my engravings of goblins slaughtering dwarves, carp slaughtering dwarves, and the occasional one of a skeletal dragon scorching the bones of a named carp).

Could anybody else test to see if this was just a one time issue or if it is a real problem?

I've seen this happen with migrant soldiers, but in that case it seemed to be because they were on duty, which is still a bug.  Did you try just putting them off duty rather than deactivating them?

Err.... no, honestly. I always make them all recruits and then set them into their squads all at once later whenever I do a military wave (IE: It's a season before a quite likely human siege, hurry and get more crossbow fodde- I mean recruit more strong, able bodied dwarves!)
