Sea of Ice Doesn't Work?

I forget how long the spell has been up, but for a while I simply trusted that it worked, and didn't even try to move into or across seas.

Well, I first started using the spell in v2.06, and when I cast it, it seemed not to stop me from travelling into the sea. So I just shrugged and figured that maybe it wouldn't stop MY units, just everyone else's. It seemed to be working on the AI, anyway.

However, what first began to arouse my suspicion was when Tujin declared to me he wished to cast it. After I voiced my assent to the matter, he proceeded to do so. On the turn he said it would cast, I had orders given to move into the sea.

I figured that one of two things would happen: The movement would fail, reaffirming that the spell WORKED, because magic phase is supposed to occur before movement, or that I would be able to dash into the sea before it took effect. I was thus somewhat surprised to notice that I could move OUT of the sea again without trouble. On the other hand, all my units were ethereal or travelling by magical means, which MIGHT have enabled them to bypass.

However, if Truper is able to sail, then clearly, it's broken: The spell description explicitly states that it prevents Vanheim from sailing.
