In my tests, targeting was the problem. Bless would target any unit as long as the AoE in its tests included unblessed sacreds. Since the AoE spreads randomly it doesn't always include the same squares and the actual cast might not cover any actual sacreds.
This isn't necessarily a bad approach. If a non-sacred is between 2 groups of sacreds, targeting him might actually cover more sacreds than aiming for any of the actual targets.
There is a single friendly unit in the combat - the caster. (Kinnara thug raiding Caelum PD).

There are non-sacred enemy Caelum PD infantry next to him, but why god why would he target an enemy unit with a spell that only effects allied sacreds? Targeting enemies with bless would surely also constitute a bug.

Anyway, with only one allied sacred (himself), the best way to maximize coverage is obviously to target himself. Its kind of inexcusable that he doesn't. 100% precision is supposed to mean he never misses - what good is that if the targeting behaves inappropriately.
