Neutrality in GWX

OK, it's late 42, i was cruising off northwest of Portugal and the sun had just disappeared on the horizon but there was still enough light to call it day light conditions. My watch crew sighted a few ships, when i checked out i saw 1 large tanker, 1 small cargo, 1 trawler and 1 armed trawler. The large tanker was strange, it was like its lights were on, but barely visible or something. And none of the ships (except armed trawler) were armed. I was suspicious enough so i closed in on the surface and checked the flags, nope, they weren't English, but i didn't recognize the flags. We were still close to Portugal and maybe they were Portuguese ships. But AFAIK in late 1942 there was unrestricted submarine campaign. I was thinking if they were neutral or not. That's when the armed trawler began firing shells at me.

So as i had been under fire first i fired back at the armed trawler and when it was sinking i began attacking the merchants with my 88. In the end, i sank them all but i was still suspicious, so i got to the exit menu to see the results and guess what?

4 neutrals sunk? WTH? Did i do something wrong? Maybe we shouldn't get too close to neutrals or is there something like that?
