Anyone seen this before? This is immediatly post-battle. Perhaps it will reconcile and fix itself next turn?

I've seen it before, and the status remains. IIRC, they don't get H3 if you GoR them.

[Deathjester]

They remain a prophet and keep their H3. I have an example of that in a current game.

[Gregstrom]

Are you sure you didn't Charm it? Charm =/= GoR.

However, they become your prophet, and spread your dominion. I found that out trying to dominion kill someone with a mercenary prophet. It didn't work.

This is not a bug, it's a feature. It was that way already in Dominions 3 and IIRC KO confirmed that it was intentional once when somebody asked about it. That's why it's not in the bug list.

The screenshot shows a unit without equipment slots, so it's definitely an enslavement vs. a charm.

Charmed prophets retain their "prophet" status (including their stat bonuses, as well as their H3 ability.)

I've never successfully enslaved a prophet before, so I don't know what happens if you GoR a prophet unit, or whether they retain prophet bonuses.

There was some question last time this was raised as to whether the "donor" nation (the one whose prophet got charmed/enslaved) could promote another prophet in this case. Don't know if the answer is different whether the prophet is enslaved vs. charmed away.

Deathjester didn't post a screenshot.

[Edi]

He refers to the OP screenshot.

A charmed/enslaved prophet counts as killed for the original owner, so they can later appoint a new one.

[FAJ]

If the enslaving player gains a prophet this way, when he does not have one already, does that deny him the ability to appoint a new prophet?

[Edi]

Yes.

DOH of the Day?
Player sends his prophet to an arena thinking it will get rid of him since he has someone much more powerful in mind for it. Another player charms it in arena which returns it to the capital, hidden, as a prophet for that other player which begins preaching up a storm.
