Ok.  So basically this is an atypical situation which probably explains why it happens.

I had a trade depot, but didn't care for it's placement.  I placed another depot for construction across the road.  A human caravan arrived before the other was built, and went to the first one.

Normal trading ensued.  I bought some metal and leather, normal things.

The second trade depot was finished while they were there.  A while later I get "The trade caravan from (wherever) is departing".  You know the message.  Anyway, a while later I look to see if the second depot is done.  I notice that it's been finished in the interim, and that the humans are all still in the first depot, save one guy and his mule in the second.

So I deconstruct the first, hoping that they'll leave.  As soon as my dwarf begins deconstruction, the caravans leave and also leave all their stuff in a big pile.

Not that I don't enjoy free things, but this is unintended behavior, I would assume.

I believe this was possible in older versions as well, and that the traders get angry at you just as if you siezed their goods.

Yeah, probably.  I just deconstructed around a dwarven caravan as well, and got their stuff.  How odd.

This has been known since the first 3D version came out.  Toady just hasn't gotten around to fixing it yet.

You can also get the same effect from forbidding the depot.

I swear, someone finds this "bug" every release....
