Friendly Loss Penalty Going DOWN Intra-Turn

[Catch21]

I'm playing a hot seat game of Road to Rimini 1944 and am at turn 8. Starting the turn the loss differential is 67 Enemy versus 17 Friendly Loss Penalty but as I go through the turn and before any combat at all I see my Loss Counter going DOWN, first to 16 then 15 then 14 before any combat at all. At first I didn't believe it so I reran the turn to test it and saved intra-turn files to prove it.

The scenario has a hefty Allied 'Force Loss Intolerance' 3 times that of the Germans, and I'm playing the Germans against the Allied PO.

My question really is- is this possible and if so OK?
