It's official: Stacked units (not armies) CANNOT be moved together!

Nope. Check out Polymths Infinite Unit Syndrome thread. Syndrome, sprawl - whatever.

And still only 3 or 4 units per army? This is going to be a nightmare.

Lets hope the path finding is as perfect as Firaxis claims.

IIRC this limit will fall with nationalism, but I did not find the thread where I have read it

Although the 'goto' command is a nifty feature, the reason why I prefer moving stacks is for defensive purposes. Even if a group of units won't fight/defend/die as a group, the ability to move stacks would allow me to have a high-defense unit escort a low-defense unit, or a 0-defense worker or settler (or GL.) Now we'll have to micromanage movement to make certain that worker has a defensive unit guarding its hinder.

Might there, perhaps, be an escort command?

Most of the time when offensive units are built in cities I want them on the front line ASAP, so stacking and movement wont be very useful to me in that respect.

However for the use that ajbera described, I'd find that useful.

Something really useful would be a "redirect" command, like was done in MOO and MOO2 - when units are built they are automatically sent to a specific point on the map ie an automatic goto.
