Here, before the fix, elements of the Union I Corps have started to arrive. Note that the superior unit (not the subordinates) arrive in supply:

Note that that superior unit has three subordinates (one detached). But note that the subordinates are unsupplied! That's not right:

If I now move that stack as shown, they lose, permanently, several squads due to straggling. And those losses are to the dead pile, not the pools => a consequence of being unsupplied:

Now, after the fix, the subordinates still arrive. The superior is still in supply. But, now, the subordinates are also in supply. Movement puts stragglers in the "On Hand" pile instead of the dead pile:
