Why are my flakgunners firing at Axis planes?

I was just finishing a small merchant with the heavy flak, when I got "plane spotted" message. I've changed to bridge, and ordered ahead flank. For next few second I have seen a Ju-87 bombing the merchant (no renown for me, of course) and then going down in flames with the stacatto of flak fire, before I had any chance to order to hold fire. "Friendly Unit Destroyed" and a few hundreds of renown points just disappeared from my account. I've had the same situation again later on the next patrol, but this time I quickly removed flakgunners from their post (works faster than ordering to cease fire).
Do the game scripts consider any airplane in range as enemy? I had two trained flakgunners and a sailor on the post (IX/I turm, three flakgunners), and the planes were marked as "friendly" (blue icons on the map). The game is v.1.4, so WTF? Another unmarked bug?
