Valour is tracked individually, with the unit average displayed, so in the above example if the 20 gold-upgraded Billmen were valour 5 and the silver-upgraded Billmen valour 2, after the merge you'd have a unit of 60 gold-upgraded troops with an average valour of 3 (although the 20 would still be valour 5 and the 40 valour 2).

I wouldn't call it a bug, it's just a generally poorly understood/recognized/explained whatever feature of the game. As I recall STW tracked weapon and armour upgrades individually as well, but I guess they decided to simplify the savefile by switching to unit tracking for those. Presumably the justification is that you can recover equipment from dead troops and issue it to the new recruits - just scrub off the blood and splintered bone & tell them to overlook the big hole in the center of the cuirass!
