I'm baffled as well. I have sunk many hostile ships in 'neutral' waters, ie; off Ireland, Spain, some of Africa, Norway(pre-invasion) and never had the result you describe.
I HAVE sunk more than my share of 'neutral' shipping when I mis-ID'd their flag as British or Commonwealth(usually at night).
Would have to agree that it seems hard to believe the game would be 'smart' enough to factor in 'neutral' waters.
