I think this is the explanation in this case. I have seen this many times. Two armies attacking each other obviously has a chance to cancel each others movement.
By "cancel each others movement" do you mean "cancel the movement of both armies"? When that occurs, it's the movement bug.

But like Sombre says, any piddly little army moving from A->B can stop the movement of a big army moving from B->A, if there is just one fight occurring in B. Each army has a chance to cancel the other's movement, by successfully moving into the other's province. If the turn resolves, and the big army stayed in B and the little army stayed in A, and everyone just sat around drinking tea and looking at flowers, that's the movement bug.

I also agree that the movement bug can rear its ugly head even when there is no visible enemy army, and it also shows up when there is an enemy army that does not have orders to move anywhere.
