UK AI strangenesses after losing Cairo

Not strictly a bug but buglike AI odd behaviours. Particularly noticed after the British lose Cairo:

-British transports and naval units continue to move into the Red Sea, right up to the Suez Canal, including an HQ and a battleship. They are in range of the air units that have been supporting my invasion and get sunk.
- The AI attempts to hold Iraq with only air units - it sends no land units there and does not operate the air units out until after the country has surrendered, instead regular-moving them across country - meaning my pursuing panzers get several hits in on them, to no effect
- There is no attempt to send land troops to any of the accessible ports in Palestine or Iraq while the AI still can (possibly because it has no more troops, IDK, just noting this :) )

Seen the same. The transport will just hang around rather than dock at the transjordan port. (or in kuwait or go back to the UK)

Yes this is something on my long range plans to improve, i.e. how to cancel plans in action such as these where their destination ports are captured... and to have the AI retreat its air units to a better location like its capital and reorganize from there.
