Blue Arrow march through enemy territory?

[tadow]

I'm using the patched version of the game 1.01, playing from 1914 as the USA. I'm allied with France, the UK, Italy, and the other usual suspects. Austria-Hungary has surrendered and disintegrated and Italy has managed to put a dent in Southern Germany. However when I tried to march my troops to join my Italian brethren, they end up mapping a "Blue" walk through Germany. I assumed that friendly to friendly moves should take a longer route if needed to avoid going through enemy territory and if that assumption is wrong, the arrow should probably be red. Or I could be a moron, actually that's not mutually exclusive.

Save game and screenshot attached.

It's an old issue. Basically, the territory you chose changed hands recently or something.

There's no pathfinding issue - USA units try to reach ITA controlled province in South Germany, but there's no clear path to there for USA as AUS is on the way (and USA doesn't have MA there), so the only path is through German controlled provinces.
However the other part of the report is correct - arrow color depends only on the destination province's controller (which is friendly in this case, so the arrow is blue).
This can be reproduced in 1.04 RC1 too (1939 scenario as Germany, try to move land unit to East Prussia) and is a bug that is going to be fixed in the next version.
