Broken units taking VP hexes

One of my German broken squads just routed through a Russian-controlled VP hex, and the hex became German-controlled. Is this a bug or a feature?

(I admit I don't remember ASL rules about hex control [;)])

In ASL it's apparently a "good order MMC passing through" to control a hex.

From here:
A 26.11 Gaining Control

...During play, a side gains control of a location/hex/building by occupying it with an armed Good Order Infantry MMC without the presence of an armed enemy ground unit [EXC: subterranean units] in that same location/hex/building. Control can be gained during the act of movement; a unit need not end a phase (or even survive Defensive First Fire) in the location/hex/building to gain Control of it. However, Control cannot be gained by Bypass.
