It does seem somewhat bugged. Fire at will should not allow units to fire into friendly units. That should only happen if the player gives a specific target that overrides the "safety"

Exactly my point; thank you!
AI was mowing down its own with musket fire. How realistic is it to mow your own down just because it is in between you and your target?
Although it has been heard of with artillery at long ranges... but shooting into the backs of your friendly soldiers directly in front of you so you can get a clear shot doesn't sound right.

Re: Friendly Fire Bug?
Precisely. Friendly fire is one thing but there is no way a friendly unit should shoot at a nearby and visible friendly unit. Most friendly fire during the period came from artillery anyway.
It's a bug and a horrible one at that.
