Major AI Transporting through an Allied Major Power

I am wondering if this is working
So I gave Germany a command to send troops to Libya from a port in Italy. I can see the command in its AI list to send the troops but the AI never assigned any troops to actually be transported. It does have a range of 25 so it was covering all of France and Germany.
My other transport commands (from within German territory) work just fine. So I am wondering if the AI struggles to understand a command that is telling it to load on a transport with an allied major powers port province city.

It should work, and it sounds like units have been assigned to the Transport plan, however, it might just be having a hard time getting those units to that port for transport.
For example, if the units are currently defending an area or some other action is occurring that prevents them from leaving their current positions, this could be a problem.
e.g. the AI will still prioritize defence and even some attacks over transporting units away from a front.
This can sometimes happen due to the long range from the current unit position to the embarkation port position.

I've tried several times now and the command just sits their. The AI never assigns anything to it. I had the command firing just after vichy is created so the German AI would reinforce North Africa.
BUT
If you give the exact same command to Italy, it will then transport the troops once it is at war (not when its neutral)

If the plan is listed then units have been assigned, e.g. it should have a size value > 0 in the list.
e.g:
IS = Initial Size (when planned first assigned)
S = Size (current size with just core units)
TS = Total Size (current size with core units plus special units such as HQs, Artillery, Air etc.)
Unfortunately the only way to see which units might be assigned specifically is to select each unit individually and then press the '~' key
