In the military screen, when you are promoting units... well it's kind of hard to explain so I will just draw it out

Example A:

Before:
* Dwarf 1
 Dwarf 2
> Dwarf 3

*PROMOTE*

After:
* Dwarf 1
   Dwarf 2
> Dwarf 3

This works out nice, the promotion cursor stays on the squad leader, so you can easily assign more dwarves to the squad.

Example B:

Before:
> Dwarf 1
 Dwarf 2
* Dwarf 3

*PROMOTE*

After:
> Dwarf 2
 Dwarf 3
*   Dwarf 1

However, in this case, the promotion cursor is on the subordinate. If you want to add more dwarves, you have to cancel promote mode and start all over again.

I guess this isn't really a bug, it's just really annoying that it works completely different depending what order the units were originally in. It would make a lot more sense in the second example for the promotion cursor to move to the squad leader instead of staying where it is.

Edit: ( I can't believe i misspelled "screen" )

Yeah, I believe somebody else reported this, if this is what they were talking about.  It's what I wrote down anyway, and I've seen it myself while messing around.  It's certainly not intended behavior -- the * should stay on the selected commander...  not some dwarf in some position in a list.
