I think you are not getting my point.
The easiest way to handle it is to have each army attack the enemy individually, just as if they were the only army.

1. Average the rateings of the allies and use those results, inflicting dammage in proportion to size.
2. Use the best rating of each side.
3. Treat them as individual armies.
Unfortunately Paradox has a policy or tradition of not releaseing details of "under the hood" game mechanics. Most of the FAQs written have been done so by rigorous testing of the underlying mechanics.
I was not implying that what I said was the way it was done rather why you thought it was not done that way, since that would be the easiest way to do it.
If you are really interested I think the only way is to extensivly test it under controled condition, much the way I cracked the colonization success formula, or the Morale stuff. Although testing the battles may be more difficult due to the random luck factor involved. Perhaps saving the game after each phase of combat and looking at the actual stats in the save game may help.

Trust me when I say the colonization formula was not easy to arrive at. 
Yes not everyone is interest enough in these issues to take the time to investigate them. However the onlyones who do know for sure are not talking.

come to think of it, it may even INCREASE enemy losses, assuming morale loss is the weighed average of morale loss incurred by both armies (low and high tech) and the damage is simply added (that seems to be the most logical) it would mean that the enemy would stay longer, and thus suffer more losses. Ofcourse, I have zero evidence
