This happened to me as well. Your best option is to try to grab him quickly as you if can. It might take a few tries.

I'm having the same issue. I tried to get a bot to pick up seeds with "until full" and then plant them with "until empty" but it just kept doing the repeat command and not going to the next task on the list. It just kept doing the first repeat command and stalling trying to up seeds with a already full hand.
I wanted to move my folks to another area but but when I deleted the huts and placed then in the new area I was not able to pick up the folk guys and move them to their new area. Now they are stuck were the old hut was. They act as if they are still at their hut so I can feed them just not move them.
So I had set up one bot to feed the "folk" but it was not keeping up with them so I set up a second bot. Now it's trying to feed the already fed folk and just drops the gruel on the ground leaving stacks of food scattered around. Maybe there is some way to make it so that they would detect when a folk is fed and skip to the next?
(random tangent but I thought the folk were seals until the update. lol)
