I don't think so, but there usually aren't any
barbarians left by the time spies are available
in vanilla civ4. I'm shaking my magic 8 ball...

Ha haaaaaaa... oops, I mean, "Aw, that's too bad!"
"An unescorted settler, merchant or trans****t are
all huge risks. Make sure you are willing to take
them." So, were you?
I was, in that game where I was playing as Elizabeth,
with the pacifism civic. I was running a lot of
merchants to make my cash on hand last longer while
I was trying to get a tech lead. I had two other
merchants when a barbarian ate one that had just
landed right outside roosevelt's borders. The next
one stayed on the boat until it was safely within
his borders, and explored his empire for me while
the third was on the way.

That's not neutral territory, it's the frontier.
Now, if you and your enemy have open borders
with a third country and your units encounter
each other in that third country, what then?
I've never had that happen, and it doesn't
seem likely, so I'm wondering if anyone else
has seen that situation?
