capturing navies ... with their leaders

Playing as Italy last night I managed to capture the British Home Fleet in ... Ethiopia (by chance, I wasn't even aware I had captured them at first :D). So I got 30 ships, including a carrier and planes, as well as their leaders. Replacing them with my own sends them to my leaderpool, so their new role seems permanent :)

I have a save of this, a bit after the fact though. Looking at the save again, it seems the fleet commander is ok (Italian) - though last night I was convinced I had some British guy. However the planes that were on the two carriers that got captured still have their original British leaders. So I think this bug might be specific to capturing carriers with their planes on board.

If you want the save I can mail it to you. If I manage to capture carriers with planes on board with any other country I will notify you.

I also captured british fleets with some carriers as Italy. The odd thing was when I realsed the carrier planes from the carrier they still was british and attack at once some of my units and then flying away towards an allied provinces. Shouldn't the planes assumed to be captured ?
About the fleet commander I didn't notice any odd thing, didn't look at that time either. But I noticed that a vichy france unit, which was my allied at the time, had british leader B. Montgomery.
As the vichy was my allied it was cool to have Montgomery as a commander but not very realistic, heh.
