Looks like this has been around a while:

# 000621 □ [dwarf mode][diplomacy] liaison leaves immediately if leader is in a strange mood

I can confirm that this still happens in 0.31.03 - the moment my expedition leader entered a mood, my dwarven diplomat left unhappy (which was inconvenient as it was very eary in my fortress and I really wanted to request things)

Why it is supposed to be a bug?
*"leader gets a mood while doing talks" - seems to be intended
*"Diplomat "Leaves Unhappily"" - good reaction for dwarf stopping his meeting and searching for dog leather

Mainly because a very similar bug was on the old bug list:

000621 □ [dwarf mode][diplomacy] liaison leaves immediately if leader is in a strange mood

Not that this is a democracy, but I would vote for this not being a bug. As Kogut argues, it seems like a perfectly reasonable reaction on the part of the liaison.

It's different from leaving if the leader "is in a strange mood" - the liaison generally seems patient, and if he'll wait for months while the leader is in the hospital, he should wait till the mood is finished. But if the mood actually interrupts a meeting, well, that's just rude.

In 0.34.07, if your expedition leader enters a mood before the dwarf liaison arrives, then the liaison will immediately leave unhappy once they enter the map with the traders.
