My son and I were playing multiplayer LAN in 18w10a and I had the new banner markers for the maps behave strangely. I was playing on his world that he opened to LAN, so I was the joining player. I do not know if this happens for additional players beyond one or not.
Being a cartographer of sorts, I love fiddling with anything related to the maps in game. I immediately started experimenting with the banners, creating markers on a map I pulled from creative.
Here is the description of what I started experiencing:
The first six banner colors display properly: White, Orange, Magenta, Light Blue, Yellow, and Lime.
The Pink banner won't display at all.
Starting with the Gray banner and continuing with Light Gray, Cyan, Purple, Blue, Brown, Green, Red, and Black, each one displays an inaccurate marker for the banner. They include a small green, white, and blue arrow, a white X, a large upside-down red arrow, the large and small white player map dots, the woodland mansion icon, and the ocean monument icon, I believe in that order.
Looking at the possible map markers on the Minecraft wiki it seems for some reason that this new banner marker feature is accessing markers that are not intended but exist in the game.
I assume this is not intended as when my son clicks the same banners I put up or the ones he put up on his own they are normal banner colors. It is only when I try to click the ones I set or the ones that he set does this happen. It seems to be an issue with me being an additional player in his world.

I am having this happen, too. I also had the boat recipe just appear out of nowhere while I was trying to make a sword and pickaxe. I didn't even place the wooden planks in the formation of a boat and it just appeared in the book.
I can confirm also for 17w14a. However clarification would be helpful on how the boat recipe is actually obtained. I don't believe I was near water at the time the recipe was added for me, in case that is supposed to be the condition.
To violine1101 - For sure. I'm not the greatest when trying to concisely explain stuff sometimes
Also didn't know about the thing with the treasure map. (Wasn't sure how to reply to your comment so just made a new one)
