Yes, the server sends more information than the client should
have.  I think some things rely on this behaviour, such as 
diplomats investigating cities.  Similarly, a hacked client 
could see all submarines, see all units in enemy stacks and 
in enemy cities, see exact enemy unit hp and veteran status,
get info on other players even without embassy (?), etc.

These problems should ideally be fixed, but they are not 
trivial, and I would consider them wishlist items.
