Did you previously trap and disarm the goblin and then release them? That has been seen before. Not sure the bug number, though.

From my experience, Generals are actually civilians - when they die, they show up as an "Administrator" in the unit list.

I just had the same thing happen with 34.11 - the general showed up with three squads plus trolls. The general was unarmed and unarmored. My dwarves ran him down and converted him to a hamburger patty. After he died, he showed up in the combat reports and unit list as "Goblin Spinner".

One additional comment: I don't see this as a bug for some civilizations. It is fairly common for general officers to be unarmed or lightly armed throughout history. It doesn't make a lot of sense for goblins, though, because of their style of civilization. I would expect some other jealous, armed goblin to quickly kill off an unarmed general and try to usurp his position.

Since this bug was possibly mentioned in today's devlog I though it would be a good idea to reference it here: http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/#2014-01-05
