AI emperor demanding unlawful territory while allied to player?

[Sharples88]

I'm allied to Austria in 1447. I started as a Custom Nation in Hamburg and annexed Saxe-Lauenburg. When I took this land the emperor (who is still Austria) demanded that I return the province of Saxe-Lauenburg even though I'm allied to Austria.

I can easily just refuse this, but I'm wondering if this is WAD or broken? In previous patches the AI emperor didn't demand unlawful territory from anyone they were allied with?

I think there was something in the patch notes about the Emperor trying harder to get unlawful territory back, even through war.

So he's demanding it, but won't invade at the least due to truce breaking/alliance breaking.

In terms of the calculation, being allied would make you MORE likely to return it, so Austria would ask. The player will ask his allies to return land, the AI should be able to as well.

Ah so that's what is triggering it. Thanks for the notice! Will try to keep at war constantly to stop the DUT.
