Is there anything that can fix it?

Try forbidding all buckets in the fortress and then once the task is canceled (or if it isn't, I'm not sure if it actually is, just forbidding them all is the key move), un-forbid them all.  After that, the dwarf should complete the task normally.  This worked for me in my 0.31.12 fort, for version reference.

Apparently, there's a problem with the dwarves using the water they get to make the cast; I guess it needs to be on hand in the sense of unused or unclaimed rather than in use as it is when the dwarf goes to get the water, so they fill the bucket with water but then don't actually use it.

Do you always look at it in ASCII?

You get used to it, I don't even see the ASCII.  All I see is blacksmith, miner, goblin.

You can forbid all buckets using the z->stocks screen. Unless your bookkeeper has been very lazy, you should have an accurate count of your buckets, which lets you designate for dumping, forbidding or melting from this menu.

After that, I suggest you check all your wells and dyer workshops and un-forbid those buckets manually. I dunno if forbidden buckets make their wells forbidden, but I do know that workshops get forbidden when their component materials are forbidden.

I just forbid all casts instead. Splints for the win.

No need. If you have the buckets and the gypsum powder forbidden, they will use splints instead and those work fine.
