I found a way (I think) around this bug. If you don't engage the enemy on land, and don't do anything to declare war, AND the navy you are about to attack belongs to a faction that is at war with 2 other factions, then the outcomes of naval encounters seem normal and you don't atually end up being at war with them (don't ask, I can't explain. Using 2.01 VI, but I've assaulted the French navy as the Byz 3 years in a row and sent them all to the bottom without any odd fights and for some reason even though I've gutted their navy they are not at war with me).![]()
