This is no bug:

RAW:

15 Surprise

(...)

Naval units
If a port attack or a naval combat at sea only involves units controlled
by major powers declaring war, and the major powers they are
declaring war on, the surprised units always get 0 surprise points. The
attacking major powers get the normal number (this will increase the
number of net surprise points the attacker can spend, if there is any
combat).


They may intercept and try to initiate combat, however, they get zero surprise points
