Bug or Bad Design?

[Sammual]

On Turn 31 of a large game one of the AIs cast Burden of Time and 1 of my units dies.
On Turn 32 5 of my units die and I start to think that this will suck in the long run so I do to dispel the spell and find out that these numbers were the numbers of COMMANDERS that died not units. My God, Prophet, and 3 of my 4 mages are gone. There were no combats, no other death Messages, no notification that my God died.

Sammual - I think this spell is a bit overpowered (Or I got the worse die roll in history)
