Weird building location reveal on the minimap

I keep getting a weird thing on my minimap. Basically, black mask is disabled for my map and fog of war is enabled. However, as soon as someone builds a townhall, the location is revealed to all players on the mini map with fog of war still intact.

This has been a huge problem for my map, as people will know where everyone's bases are right away by scanning over the minimap and seeing a colored dot, even though the entire map is fogged out.

can you post the map?

The link to the map is below in my siggie. Basically this will only show in a multiplayer game. As soon as the pack horse uses "Unpack" to transform into a settlement, the settlement becomes semi-visible on the minimap despite the fog of war.

For example, if blue uses unpack, all players will see a blue dot on the minimap. The area itself isn't revealed, but a blue dot will appear for all players with a faint outline of the settlement.

The unpack ability is simply based off bear form so I don't really understand why the unit is revealed.
