This I could not reproduce. If I tell an acp-independent unit (a city in
the advances game) to build e. g. 3 colonizers it does exactly that, and
then prompts for a new build task. I have not seen it go into reserve or
abort the plan, even though it is limited by unit-consumption-per-cp and
runs out of material each turn (as it should).

What game did this happen in, and do you have a saved game where the bug
can be seen?
