Let's say Prussia, Austria and Spain are allied against France. France loses the war. The current treaty system will have each of these 3 victors make separate peace treaties. I've seen situations in COG1 where, for example, both Prussia and Austria demand the same French provinces be ceded in their peace treaties with France. Of course, the province can only go to one of Prussia or Austria. So one of them is going to get "screwed over" by wasting victory points at the peace table by demanding something that France would not be able to comply with, since the province went to the other victor.

Is there any rule which determines who gets the province, if both victors asked for it via the "cede province" clause? Or is it just random? It does get annoying to see the just rewards of your war escape because some other power asked for the same thing and (somehow) got prioritized.

For coalition treaties, maybe it would be better to have a "joint peace treaty" with all victors on one side, bit like the Congress of Vienna? I have a feeling this might be far too difficult to code though.

I think this is an interesting question and post. 
 
I thought that if you are fighting allies, that you surrender to one of them, you surrender to all of them simultaneously.  But I have to check the rules on this again.
