Armies will never switch provinces. Manual in that case is wrong. You will never see it happen in game. Instead of switching provinces armies stay in their current ones and no fight takes place. That is better mechanic too because if armies really do change provinces you would constantly getting enemy armies getting behind your lines because you decided to move at the same time they did. THAT would be irritating.
The reason why that doesn't happen every time in your save game is because chances that either of 3 cases will happen are random.

Daynarr,
I'm pretty sure that, at least in Dom2, armies could switch provinces -- they cross borders at different points and just don't meet; the bigger the armies, the less likely, though. And it makes more sense to me, rather than having no-one moving at all. And yes, that was irritating, chasing some small army raiding your provinces (and burning your temples down to ashes) far behind the frontline!
I have never experienced the "no-one moves" syndrom in Dom2.
Since the possibility of switching provinces already was there in Dom2, makes more sense (to me at least), and is explicitly documented as such, I think that the new behavior we see in Dom3 really smells like a bug.
But then, only the game designers can give a definite opinion. Guys?...
