That would be a bug in my mind. You don't give a guy a ranged weapon and then give him melee orders! |
It works completely by the rules of the mechanics of the game as they are supposed to work. If scripted to attack, then it will attack. Therefore it is NOT a bug.
Whether the script is optimal considering equipment is irrelevant for those purposes, especially since it is unknown when the attack script was put in place. Other factors that could go into it are whether the AI calculates possible damage potential for the unit with missile vs melee and how it factors the Bow of War into that.
If untoward behavior is not present directly and there are that many unknowns, it is not a good idea to assume there is a bug.
