I think there is some kind of bug there. It is most evident when you finish a crusade by taking the target. When you do, ALL your settlements get huge bonuses to PO due to "glory" and "triumph". I think it's 15/25% respectively. HOWEVER, you wont notice any of it until you do something with the settlement, like order production, moving troops about, changing taxes, OR end turn/reload.

It seems that any global things affecting PO and perhaps income, like taking settlements, happening on the current turn, doesn't get calculated until you do something, or hit end turn.

Note sure though, I haven't tested it, this is just from experience.
