This isn't the first time I've seen this glitch appear... Not sure what triggers it and it scares me.
Are you able to delete plots from your island? You may have to get rid of the plot and then buy a new one.

Did you time travel to move them in faster? Because if you did, every other person encountering this issue appeared to have time travelled to move them in, I think?

No. I came home and it was blank. I tried to TT after that but to no avail
I see.. honestly, this is being reported to happen more and more. I think I'm going to contact a mod, perhaps a temporary ban on selling villagers should be put in place to prevent this.
Edit: PM'd a mod about it. We'll see where this goes.

Is this glitch only happening with villagers coming from other people's islands, or are they happening with all villager move-ins?
Appears to be only from boxed villager invites from other player's islands. Campsite, random move-ins and island tours seem to work as intended.

Hopefully Nintendo fixes this soon... Is there a place to report bugs within the game? Or someone from Nintendo people can contact when they encounter these bugs?
Good call on contacting a mod about villager trading!
Not that I know of. The only thing I can think of is Nintendo Support.
This is a copy / paste from a discord I'm in. If you try this, I am in no way responsible for results!!
"SOLUTION TO VILLAGER PLOT BUG
STEPS
1. Ensure you have 1 bugged plot (Lets say this belonged to Apollo) and 1 plot open to any resident (If you cannot place a plot you will need to get another villager to move out, this can be done quicker with Time Travel)
2. Go on an ISLAND TOUR (Randomly moving villagers does not fix, tested)
3. Find a villager on the island and invite him to your island (Lets say its Wolfgang). I'm unsure of the frequency/rarity of villagers on island, perhaps other means of villagers moving in such as amiibo work but this has not been tested
4. At this point Wolfgang will now move to your island and occupy the BUGGED plot, however his house will look like APOLLO'S house
5. In addition to this another house will appear in your town this one looking like WOLFGANG'S house. This house will not be enterable and upon trying to enter you will be told WOLFGANG is out
6. If you were to check your map it would look like this

7. Now you need to get *WOLFGANG (i.e the newest villager) to move out. This can be done with time travel quicker and do not worry, villagers will not move out without you being told by them themselves.
8. You will need to check that he is going to move out by visiting him, he will either ping you with a "!" and run towards you or will have a bubble above his head and a sad expression.
9. Upon WOLFGANG moving out both houses will disappear leaving 2 empty plots.
Message me for any questions you might have regarding the solution to this bug.
Thank you for all of those that answered my DM's and the one person who actually trialled this solution and confirmed to myself that it worked for them.
I STILL DO NOT KNOW HOW TO PREVENT THIS GLITCH FROM HAPPENING OR WHAT CAUSES IT, HOWEVER WE DO NOW HAVE A MEANS OF REVERTING IT"

Honestly at this rate, I think it may just be worth not inviting villagers from other user's islands until Nintendo is aware of the issue and fixes it.
While I knew about this I invited Zucker to my island simce I didn't pay anything for him. Last night I had forgotten I was TTing and the time was all messed up I decided to leave it like that and sleep. Morning it was killimg me I changed the time to 4:55 am. Note I never went to the house plot because well I was extremely nervous that it would be glitched. Isabelle does her annoucement, says Zucker moved in. I thought hry maybe it worked and it did but do be cautious when adopting from other islands. I just got lucky, thankfully.
Wait, so villagers won't move out if you don't talk to them about it? You can just time travel safely if you don't talk to them, you can just talk to the one that you want moving out? I have this bug but I don't want to lose any of my favorite villagers on the process.
I don't know. I just copy pasted the information.
That being said, I am also only doing island villagers and maybe amiibos once I reach 10 until then. I really don't want to glitch my game right now.
