You should never be able to avoid naval interception then landing troops.
It can nulify the advantage of having a powerful navy completly and also make little seans that you can land many thousands of troops without getting spotted while land battles are never avoided.

I think your navy always try to avoid if you got troops on and allways attack if you don't so two navies transporting troops will try to avoid eachother even if one is completly stronger.

The only time navies I have seen navies avoiding each other is if both are moving and in that case it is only a chance of them doing so. It is why I took the habit of during war having my combat fleet always move one sea zone only and auto-pause when they arrive anywhere. Never had to deal with both fleets carrying troops so no idea what happens then.

It doesn't look like this was something added so maybe a bug?

As a general rule, navies only fight if one of them is stationary. Which is odd, and can be problematic if you're not watching the interception you want to happen, but is definitely something you can plan around if you are watching.
