This is a very easy bug to replicate. Simply open the map editor and place a neutral Empire unit (the unit is neutral but selected from the usual Empire faction, such as a vanguard). Right-click on the unit and change it to an Empire unit. The unit now belongs to the Empire faction but possesses the same skin as the neutral/underlord version.

I was informed that no output log is necessary because it is easy to replicate.
Only in the map editor, not going to be fixed
