I don't know - this basically requires that every unit, 
has a flag which sez whether to stop
when finding enemies if none have been seen by this unit before.
Maybe also when spotting unseen units.

This behaviour would be ugly when chasing someone though;
(e.g. you see 2 squares and have the same speed as the one chased).
Maybe the flag should be set to expire only every two turns.
(It could record just the turn when an enemy was last spotted).

It is not really an autocommand thing; interestingly,
code like this should be there somewhere already as AFAIR,
the ai also likes to abort it's movement 'for attack procedures'.
