One line summary of your issue
CK II - 3.1.1 - Male heir married to AI ruler nominated for bishopric, disqualified

Game Version
3.1.1 VQTI

What expansions do you have installed?
All of the above

Do you have mods enabled?
No

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
Not sure whether this is based on new AI behavior from the court-related update, but after marrying off my two unlanded adult sons to Duchesses in the same kingdom, I later found myself without an heir as both had been nominated heirs to the bishoprics of their respective wives' duchies, which apparently supercedes their claims to my counties even before they're made bishops. Agnatic-cognatic gavelkind during Charlemagne start, if it matters. This behavior, if now typical, makes it practically required not to marry off a landless heir. Thanks for any help.

Steps to reproduce the issue.
Marry off landless heirs to foreign rulers, or presumably have them end up in any foreign court with free investiture.

Also, once the bishopric in question becomes available, the nominated character becomes a bishop which immediately annuls the marriage. So I can marry my landless male heir to a duchess, and she can remove him from my succession and annul the marriage without consequence.
