0003974: Unable to place Nest Box
I made a nest box out of stone immediately after starting my fort. First my dwarfs moved it from the craftstation to the craft stockpile. Then they moved it to my food stockpile. I am unabled to place the Nest Box, it says "Needs nest box"

I then made another one, and I was able to place it before my dwarfs had a chance to move it to the food stockpile.

Did the nest box have food in it?

I don't think so.

I was able to reproduce this.

I made a stone (chert) nest box at a craftsdwarf workshop. I had a food stockpile designated but did not have a finished goods stockpile.

The stone nest box was placed in the food stockpile. I was not able to select it for use.

I then created a finished goods stockpile and it was moved there (in a bin). I've made other nest boxes since the first one and am able to use those - but I can never use the original one that started out in the food stockpile.

To make sure it was not the bin's fault, I created a tool only finished goods stockpile (disallowing bins) and forbid tools in the original finished goods stockpile.

The nest box was hauled to the food stockpile and is unable to be used, even after dumping (it returns to the food stockpile on reclaim).

For the save:

I used notes to make the 3 stockpiles:
1 - Food Stockpile (z-5)
2 - Tool Only Stockpile (z-6)
3 - Finished Goods Stockpile (z-6)

Save is zoomed to Food Stockpile showing unusable stone nest box.

EDIT: When I reloaded from making the save, I was able to place that nest box.

Confirmed. If I have a food stockpile but not one for finished goods, the dwarves will put next boxes there and leave them there even if I make a goods pile. After a save and reload they do fetch the nest from the food stockpile to place it or put it in the proper pile.

I've had this happen sporadically also if I create a custom stockpile that allows both food and finished goods. I produced six nest boxes; five of them were fine, but the remaining one could not be placed.

This happened to me with a stone hive, though at the time I didn't know it was this bug. I had a food stockpile that a stone hive was put into, and I could not access it at all. Sometime later I could use it, though I'm not sure why

I've noticed the same, SirPenguin.

It seems these items are being claimed as containers for use in the food stockpile.
