This is no design bug. It is an intentional feature. The idea is that it is hard to target at the rear since you do not know exactly where they are, but as you outflank you can discover what is on the other side of the enemy lines. It is also intended to combat what illwinter percieved to be the somehwat cheesy dom 1 tactic of putting all you archers on fire magic Users or commander. Thius was especially potent against indeps.
