Foote changes sides (old bug?)

I must report that US Navy Admiral Foote is a traitor! I'm playing the South, and this turn I captured a Union river fleet (complete with ironclad). When I checked the land forces in the region, I noticed that I had captured Foote as well, and that he was now apparently willing to work for me. Better pay, I guess...
Circumstances that may have influenced the situation: I captured the region with land forces, but I had the nearest river location blocked with my own river fleet. Perhaps this interdiction prevented Foote from moving out of the region?
I seem to recall that this has happened and been reported before, but I couldn't find it with a search. In any case, this occurred with a fresh installation patched to the 1.12aRC5 beta patch. I can send the turn files if necessary.
