Technically not a bug, although nasty nevertheless.  If I understood 
correctly, what happens in this situation is that the AI waits to move the 
attacking units at the end of a turn, and then immediately attack at the 
beginning of the next, so it appears that it is using more moves than 
allowed.  If it indeed violates the rules, then it should have been fixed a 
long time ago.
