I think this behaviour is a good thing.  Conquering cities shouldn't be a
byproduct of movement.  The alternate route you described would result in
an empty Viking city -- possibly a way for the Catalons to gain Labor
Union -- even if they've only just researched horseback riding.

If you want to conquer the city, you can decide that easily enough.
