Citizens2: NPCs not loading into place at server startup.

Citizens dev 1476 Paper dev 1104 (Spigot 1.11.2)

I have 4 NPCs configured. I noticed after my server started up, two of them were invisible / not in place. I had to type /citizens reload for them to re-appear. So it seems sometimes citizens do not fully load in on server reboots / startup initialization.

Despite it reporting;

[09:00:38] [Server thread/INFO]: [Citizens] Loaded 4 NPCs.
