Actually, dwarves who joined the fortress via petitioning fail too.

Further investigation showed that in fact citizens are making the crafts purely from coal and running out of it fast. If all coal is forbidden, they make crafts of proper metal.

Further study revealed that in fact problem appears to only manifest when metal items are requested via manager with custom details, and is not related to citizenship.

I play a human fort and had a dwarf merc settle in. When I made her a full suit of dwarf-sized iron gear, it resulted in gear made of charcoal.

Edit: If you check the default conditions for reagents, it is automatically adding charcoal as a requirement. This doesn't seem to be taking magma forges into consideration.

Edit2: You can work around this by adding the order directly to the magma forge and it completes fine.
