That isn't actually a bug, although I agree it can be really annoying.
Although the armies are on the transport, the computer doesn't
consider them a _part_ of the transport; so when their turn comes up
to move, they do... it's just that in this case, their chosen move is
"sleep".  By the time the transport's turn comes up again, the armies
have all been moved for the turn.

To get around this inconvenience, "W-ake" the armies (i.e., press W
then click on the transport) _before_ you "B-elay" the transport.
After you've belayed the transport, the armies' turns will come up
(and you'll have to belay them individually, which is a different form
of annoyance 8-).

Me too!  Although I am not yet a "level 15-er", I'm sure I will be
after trying these "cheat" hints you and another person have posted
