Playing Canadian in the High Sticking Scenario, I place units in their deployment areas and give them their initial movement orders. As soon as I start the scenario several change from 'Move Hasty; to 'Screen' within the first two minutes.
I have highlighted the behaviour of one unit in the screenshots, save files enclosed.

Bug or underlying reason?

This appears to me as a bug, I've created a ticket for it. Thank you for the save file. (The bug reproduces from this save file, so very helpful.)

A couple of questions.
1). Was a formation move used on these or other units?
2). Did you play a game before this one?
3). Did you make any SOP adjustments or waypoint adjustments?

Thanks. Trying to narrow down the variables.

I used a formation move for A Coy - set move hasty to final destination then adjusted last leg for each unit to move deliberate and altered final waypoint to the position I wanted. All A Coy units changed to 'screen' on game start, however I did the same for A Sqn and as you can see in the screenshot two sub units moved and two changed to screen.

Used the same procedure for the B Coy units to the north and they all moved as ordered on start.

At first I thought it might be overstacking but far too few units involved and that only causes a delay.

Had played The Neckar Line before and not closed FCSS between scenarios.

SOP changes were to stay and fight for inf and screen and fight for tanks if I recall.

Peter, thanks for the additional info. That will help us narrow things down.

Peter, do you remember what you did in the UnitDashboard to modify the orders?

William,

For each unit that was part of the formation move it was a right click on the last leg of the move and select move deliberate, then apply What are you thinking?
