Confusion/combat retreat

Bug present in Insecticide 1.40m, probably in 140n as well, never happened in 1.31

Impact: Game do not crash, occurrence is very rare .

Description: After the AI retreats from a combat (it started attacking my units from a city) my units appears in the city, the AI garrison is wiped out, but the city still belongs to AI.

Replicate: Savegame before and after the combat included.

What happened: My best guess.
When I was "attacked" by an engineer, I decided not to run (to avoid losing units) and not to kill the engineer (to avoid worsen too much my relationship with the mage) so during the combat I did not attack, hoping AI should flee soon.
The AI decided not to run (!) and casted confusion on my units, succeeding for both.
When my units resulted all fighting for AI in the same turn (in 20 or so turns), the AI get confused (rolleye) and decided to retreat (IIRC with 1.31 the result should be "I lose the combat").
Retreating my units somehow moved with the engineer wiping the city garrison in the process.

(N.B. In the second savegame my units are just outside the city because I pressed the arrow key by mistake before saving; originally the units are in the nearby city)
Since I'm guessing what happened, I'm not sure if the problem is with the new confusion management of Insecticide patch or the same could happen in vanilla version, so I decided to post here. smile
Only the people crazy enough to think they can change the world of Arcanus and Myrror can do it. rolleye
