I dunno about 'to the south' but in every battle where I've attacked a town/city, the city is behind me & I'm facing out to the country ie I am where I'd expect the defender to be placed.
Makes me definitely believe the that attacker & defender are mixed up.
Edit: Has anyone tried intentionally putting reinforcements behind the enemy? If deployment zones are switched then you should get reinforcement from behind your own army then.
