Update. Last "siege" like that included 4 goblin squads entering from 2 points, so it was 2 squads in one place. They started fighting each other, inflicted some heavy damage, reduced their own numbers to almost none and survivors left the map before my military reached them.

Do you have a "SIEGE" flag stuck permanently on the top of the screen?

Looks like a 'loyalty cascade' bug for me, not a siege bug.
3-4 ambush squads at once are pretty normal, as far as I know.

Reminder sent to: dunenkoff

"because their arrival being reported immediately as they enter"

What does this mean? Are you getting an announcement when they arrive? If so, what is it?

They're announced like ambush ("Ambush! Curse them!") immediately upon entering, squad standing on the border, with screen centering on each arriving squad, so it's 4-6 "Ambush!" messages on announcement screen, but no SIEGE flag. They do arrive in numbers for siege though, and there are no non-goblin attackers.
