dwarves try to drink from incomplete well

Except instead of the builder, other dwarves who are thirsty will also try to drink from the well. There's a "water source" interaction zone immediately next to the well, and water is immediately below it, if that matters.

There doesn't need to be a designated watersource on the well, merely saying "build well" causes thirsty dwarves to try and drink from it (especially if it is your first well).

I had this happen.  There were a dozen dwarves gathered around the half built well, spamming "cancelled drink: no bucket" messages for what seemed like ages.
