Have they got that bonus in some older version? It's an automatic fortification bonus, and those units cannot (in classic ruleset) fortify, so I think they should not get it.

I mean that I think that to be the current rule. I don't have strong opinion whether the rule makes sense or not.

They get bonus in ver2.5.9.
I reported this change because it's not written in the changelog.

I think so too. Either will do.
But help text also needs to be changed.
( - If the defender is a land unit, and is either fortified or inside a city, its strength is multiplied by 1.5.)

Ok, it has changed between S2_5 and S2_6.

S2_5:
if ((pcity || fortified)
&& uclass_has_flag(utype_class(def_type), UCF_CAN_FORTIFY)) {
defensepower = (defensepower * 3) / 2;
}

S2_6:
if ((pcity || fortified)
&& uclass_has_flag(utype_class(def_type), UCF_CAN_FORTIFY)
&& !utype_has_flag(def_type, UTYF_CANT_FORTIFY)) {
defensepower = (defensepower * 3) / 2;
}

This came in as part of

Added "Cant_Fortify" unit type flag that overrides unit class flag "Can_Fortify" 
    for a single unit type. Automatically add it ruleset loading time to all units that
    have "Settlers" flag.

See patch #5072
