Issue with loyalty penalty when using armies and giving away the county

Messy title, I know...

Situation: As King of Castille, Leon and Navarra, I am busy with a defensive war gone offensive against some infidels in the genreal area of Zaragoza. When I claim some nice fat provinces, and seeing that I can have no more counties as my personal demense without penalty, I decide to give Santiago to the Duke of Braganza.

All is good and well, until I suddenly realize that from the very beginning, he is taking a -5% loyalty hit from me using his regiments - which I raised when they were mine, and have been raised for the entire war.

I find it somewhat strange that this penalty starts at the same level as for the lord's whos hosts I've been using for years. In practice, this meant that I actually lowered his loyalty by giving him a county. eh?

Kurtbrian, each unit has a date assigned when it is raised. (Easily seen in the savefile, it is the "date" entry in the "division" attribute of a "unit") The loyalty penalty is determined solely by the timespan between the current date and the date it was raised. This date is NOT reset when the province it belongs to changes hands, which should probably constitute a bug (though a minor one, as it only hampers hand-over of provinces during wartime since all other changes of ownership will either result in the unit disbanding immediately or by virtue of being at peace).
