So yesterday in Animal Crossing New Leaf I had this problem.
I had nine villagers.
Bonbon was in boxes, and ready to move out the following day.
Ankha's house was just a fence, and she wouldn't officially be here until tomorrow.
And I was going to someone else's town to receive Agent S.
So nine villagers, getting one and losing one the next day.
Can you get another villager?
Apparently not.
Unfortunately the game doesn't notice that a villager is leaving, and just notices that my town would have eleven villagers the next day, still not noticing that Bonbon would be gone by the time Agent S's fence would be here.
Even though this is a pretty rare thing to occur, it did happen, and I wanted to share my story. Hope this helps!
P.S. In the end, I had to time travel, and Bonbon was out, and Agent S was in

it still classes the villager in boxes as being part of your town and considers the plotted villager as already being there, which is why there's no way of stopping an unwanted villager moving in once they have set their house down.
I believed it to be like that since day one, out of pure logic. The game doesn't do maths that way, it only knows there ten occupied house-spots in your town, no matter if one is just a fence or one is in boxes. Ten are still ten.
