Transmitter Farms?

NOTE: My internet access is down so uploading files is a chore! The local library does not like that.
NOTE: My daily access time is limited, so I am unable to do a proper search to see if this was previously reported.
I started a random new game with r2162. All the farms had a new crop in their fields ... Transmitter Towers ... and it is a bountiful crop too. Unforetunately they are difficult to harvest and transport.
So I investigated:
1. I turned off all grfs except for the mandatory base one. The problem remained.
2. I went to my earliest good Alpha, r2045. The problem remained.
3. I loaded 2.5 beta 9 ... No more problem.
4. I compared the patch cfg for the beta and the alphas and turned off all the new switches in the alpha cfg. No more problem.
5. I turned on the dissabled switches one by one and VOILĂ€! The culprit would seem to be experimentalfeatures.newterraingen. When this is set to off, all is well. Turn it on and the seeds of tower deceptions are sown.
