Crusade success WAD?

[CJL78]

In my last playthrough (1.05f I think, upgrading to SoI now) I for the first time became a King directly through conquest (as Duke of Toulouse I won the Crusade for Jerusalem), rather than winning independence first, and annoyingly discovered that the French monarch immediately gets a claim not on Toulouse, but the K. of Jerusalem.... ensuing war sees me lose Jerusalem, and my count vassals through the Duchies of Toulouse and Barcelona are, despite all logic, tied to Jerusalem rather than the duchies so I lose all my count vassals as well.... WAD? I should think not...
1. Shouldn't the liege get a claim on the Duchy titles I held as his vassal before gaining the Kingdom? Is this the same way Invasion CBs work/does France get a claim on England rather than Normandy if William succeeds in 1066 (I've never tried it)?
2. If a King wins a claim for another kingdom, should he take the vassals that are de jure tied to duchies held by the target king, that are not de jure part of the kingdom that was won? (i.e. in my situation, all the counts that were de jure vassals of Toulouse and Barcelona)

Needless to say, this a gamebreaking bug for anyone wishing to go on to Crusade for Jerusalem while a vassal

Is this a known issue?

Last bump; I would just like to know if this is a known issue, or if it's WAD or if I experienced something out of the ordinary and/or if there's any workaround outside of game files for my future reference. Thanks for anybody that has any info.

I don't know if it's a bug or not, but the way crusades work in general is extremely ahistorical. I suggest you download the ck2 plus mod, best one imo. Whoever wins the crusade by getting highest contribution gets a decision to keep it for himself, give it to a family member, or give it to a randomly generated dynasty member. There might also be a choice to give it to the pope I forget, I always just choose to give it to a family member so I don't recall. The mod has a ton of other great stuff too which improves the base game enormously.

I'm using Balansegang with my own personal tweaks. CK2+ does a LOT of stuff I don't like. If you're already a king in Europe, giving it away makes sense and that's what I always did before. Like I said, first time I had tried to win a Crusade as a vassal like historical 1st Crusaders were.

in any case, hope PI sees this and does something about it. In other cases (such as independence CB or inheritance into another realm) the liege gets a claim on the titles the lord had as a vassal of the liege, not the new title(s). The King of France does not get a claim on England after William conquers it, etc....
