Bug with guard commitment

I think there might be a bug in how the engine handles guard commitment. I was Austria attacking a Prussian stack. He out-chitted me, but I had the good leader (+1/-1). So, I was holding my own. I decided to go for broke with a guard commitment on the 3rd round of combat. I was already down to 0.13 morale, so I knew I was going to break. But, he was down to only three factors (plus his leader -- which is important). The guard commitment worked: I broke, but he was eliminated.
I was somewhat surprised to find out that I had LOST the battle (including the political points). And, the only "factors" he had remaining in the space was his leader and an empty depot.
I'm pretty sure it was the guard commitment that caused the trouble. Probably only when coupled with elimination of the enemy force. But, maybe not.
