Think this is intentional to stop exploits, stack wipe prevention. Army C would instantly kill army A which is at near zero morale.
What needs fixed?

This argument is invalid as army C can still fight army A if they arrive on the next day instead of the same day.

Can you fix the Burgundian Inheritance so that it no longer fires if Burgundy has a legitimate heir (i.e. ignoring the entire reason it happened historically)?
This:
Dutch Patriots, friendly to Netherlands. Netherlands has a 2k stack parked on the square, military access with France. Every time the Patriot rebels siege down the province, the Dutch siege it down again. Then the rebels siege it down again. And it repeats again.
Whether it's an AI thing (program AI not to park troops in the same square as friendly rebels) or a hostility thing (flag rebel-occupied squares as friendly/unfriendly dependent on rebel hostility), it's very silly. This continued for about a decade.
Similarly:
The rebels spawned while I had the island occupied. In peacetime, France transported their ENTIRE ARMY to the Caribbean to take out the friendly rebels. For the next ~50 years, I wiped out their fleet and was able to eat France's entire northern coast practically unopposed. France didn't disband troops and the rebels didn't teleport to... say, Calais? (Which I had with positive unrest, too).
In the same game, I got random cores when North American natives migrated, too. That made for some excellent, unfair early colonization, but I know what caused it (checking out the 1788 start before creating the game).

Why do Dutch minors start with German ideas? Shouldn't they start with Dutch ideas?

Not fun.... three times in this campaign so far.... there is no reason for this in the game mechanics. This is a screwjob. The alliance with Poland was nearly 300 years old. Can I get a historical friend benefit at that point? It occurs about a month after winning a war and is quite unpredictable as it had not occurred in the 100 years or so that I owned provinces that were near my ally.

Well Poland definitely should dislike you and without considering being player they have a reasonable chance to act on that so makes sense. As for France once again you have provinces they should really dislike you for but it is really the fault of the "Not given cores an claims" modifiers... How the hell did you get it that high?
EDIT: Oh and just to make it clear I do dislike the mechanic since it often has huge minus relations from provinces it doesn't make sense or wanting entire regions but your examples are basically the place where it should apply.

I'm not sure how I got that malus so high. I did separate peace and did give them things from one of the opponents. Must have missed one. I was allied with Poland for about 300 years before this happened. I helped them become a world power and was planning on staying allied with them for the rest of the game. I was allied with France for around 200 years. It is a built in game mechanic. It happens after you win a war and (in my opinion) get too strong. They had no problems with me until after the war was over. Then, about a month later, they get all these "wants your provinces" modifiers and drop the alliance. I actually check to see if my powerful allies are going to throw me out the window after every peace deal. The reason France is in a war with me in the screenshot is because I declared war knowing that they had the "crazy beat down bug" in them and were going to break the alliance. I knew it was going that way.
France doesn't care anymore for some reason. I think I may be able to ally them again after they stop rivaling me. Sorry, this undocumented, yet not so random behavior (it happens when you are winning wars), has happened three times now in the same game. I'm a bit pissed off. Hey you know that nation that has been our buddy for about 12 generations now, we want their stuff. Who cares if we trust them implicitly to help us out when we need it? We must take Sardinia, yeah!
I was even avoiding taking same culture provinces to keep them happy.

Another thing I just remembered, but I don't know if it can be fixed. It's something that has annoyed me since release. When two armies are fighting and then another army comes to reinforce one of the existing armies. The reinforcing can bring a negative modifier from a crossing or something and that negative modifier gets applied to the whole friendly force I think. This creates a situation where getting reinforced can actually hurt you. I think this is still an issue.
Maybe instead of half their parent's flag, use inserts (small version of parent flag on the upper hoist quarter of the colonial flag, like the Australian flag)
In case the colonial nations are historical (portuguese brazil, spanish/castilian la plata/new spain/new granada/thirteen colonies/..) use a historical flag or coat of arms (if applicable)
Not hight priority for me, anyway.
I'd like the canal events not to fire every few months, that's just irritating. They are expensive enough as is.
1. all involved armies after a peace deal get black flagged and teleport to random province near without exceeding supply limit there. Same mechanic as rebel stacks do. Shouldn't be hard to implement. Eradicates jumping on Iberia when their troops march black flagged around mediterenean and black sea for 2 years so to speak. Eradicates the need for armies needing transport after an island invasion half a globe away, leading to a 20k stack on some beatiful island drinking rum for 7 decades. But probably won't be implemented, as it gives new problems with people jumping on the opportunity of a nation at war that has troops abroad seeing armies pop out of thin air. Rebels CAN, but nation armies? Oh god forbid no....
2. HRE electing random asian/american nations if bashed enough. Coded ok, but historically accurate? Not really.
3. Independant colonal nations going full wonky on war declarations. Columbia invading India...
4. Some southeast asian nations often ally nations ridiculously far away. Sibir allying Bengal. Brunei allying landlocked mali.
5. Give eskimo/siberian nations eskimo looking armies! And polar bear pets.
6. Vent point: BETTER tooltips for many stuff ingame. The current ingame expalantion for LOAD of stuff, even diplomatic actions, and what all the possibilities are, is seriously lacking. Players need to study entire eu4 wiki to play your game effectively. Enough said.
7. vent point: Fix numbers on trade fleet income if assessing what trade fleet to send where. A tooltip saying sseinding 74 light ships here and 56 ones there for best income would be great.
8. Look at the gold reward CN can give to really big tax base nations. I literally had 4000 ducats from 10+ colonial nations in a year once. From events alone. It seems the reward for "monopoly company formed" scale with tax base of nation, which seem odd.
9. Change the way untraining an idea group works. Give back more monarch points, but let a nation spend decades to untrain an idea group. Don't give the untrain reward monthly, give the reward in free points to spend in a new idea group once the idea group finishes untraining.
10. Let a naton willingness to attach their troops to yours (in a war you lead) depend on their trust in you. Historical I'd say. Now its wonky, and it depends on loads of factors. Install a popup/pause option if an army attaches or DEtaches.
... might continue later

Conveniently, Peasant Rebels can't enforce demands unless they occupy half your country or you get broken, so you've picked the worst possible rebel type to use in a screen shot complaining about rebels.
You know that nifty ability rebels also got, auto-transport to adjacent province, with that little arrow below that is filling up as they are (assumed to be) travelling to their destination?
We could use this for black-flagged armies after war, so they get auto-travelling to the capital (at double or triple speed). Would only solve black-flagged units though, not normal units trapped on own territory, but could perhaps be an idea.
I am not complaining about rebels in general, it just sucks that I can't calm a few insignificant peasants in the middle of nowhere without weakening my entire country.

When doing a shattered retreat armies are supposed to only go a max of 10 provinces. However, that doesn't take into consideration where they have access. In a situation such as one where you have the Strait of Marmara blocked, armies will shatter all the way around the Black Sea.
Rebel armies on islands teleport to other provinces. However, the teleportation is not limited to islands. It can also happen on mainland. Having rebels seize Chesapeake and then do a magical teleportation trick to Massachusetts where they stack wipe an army you had shattered retreating from another battle is ridiculous. Then again, the fact that they teleported in that situation is the part that's really ridiculous.
