Absolutely. This is the most disheartening thing about diplomacy now. Regardless of what the AI agrees to it never follows through. This is indeed, extremely discouraging as despite the first glance potential the diplomacy interface seems to offer, most of it does not seem to work.
Other weird things... I was getting along famously with several races including the Eee in my current game. Suddenly, without warning, the Eee declare war on me, even though there attitude remained "Brotherly" toward my empire. I have never been able to normalize relations with them since, they remain brotherly constantly, they even refuse ridiculously advantages trades like several techs in return for a Trade Treaty... I cannot understand it (no I am not a Mega Evil Empire, I a not even ranked first).
