Why do so many of my settlers have the doctor dialogue in my settlements? Even if i only have one clinic plot? And how do I fix it?

There's a bug in SS2, especially in sanctuary, where if I placed one clinic plot, many other random npcs (not just the doctor/assigned npc) will have the exact same dialogue options as a doctor npc, and can be bartered with (and with the same items for sale as a doctor npc), even if those other settlers are assigned to other tasks. It doesnt happen with any other job/plot, so how can I fix it? The bug wouldnt go away if I destroyed the clinic plot too.
 
It's a known bug. People have been bashing their heads against finding the root cause and potential solutions since before SS2 even came out.
 
But I have rarely seen anyone mention of this bug before..
Yeah it doesn't get mentioned terribly often, compared to some other things like 'caravans are broken again' or 'city plan wont actually build'.
It's long since been in the 'confirmed bugs' list used internally, although since it doesn't happen 100% of the time working out what is actually causing it is all kinds of pain.
 
Starting a fresh install and... Old Paul acts like a doctor even though there is no clinic plot installed and he is assigned to the storage plot. So yes, the bug is alive and well!
