I seem to remember micromanaging around this bug myself, though I have never bothered to fully test it. Generally, the governor in Civ5 is much too obsessed with gold over food and hammers, which is very noticeable in the early game. Manually moving citizens from 2f2c to 2f1h is often a good decision. When doing this, you'll sometimes also find that moving from 2f2c to 2h2c saves you a turn or two on producing a settler. Similar things could happen in Civ4 with %-bonuses from Exp/Imp.
However, in Civ4, the governor actually accounted for this, though I think it struggled with some rounding issues. The Civ5 governor doesn't even seem to try.
