This is a bug that needs to be fixed by looking for the user made action and not the game made action. Hope this makes some kind of sense.
As proof of life, you will find the offending bush next to the White House as I had to go find it in my "dead" pile and move it so it could be found.
Thanks for the 411 on this.
