Units inside transport get selected by all army hotkey.

I have been playing a bit of KINGPIN + transport strategies and I have noticed a very annoying issue. When you use the ~ key to select all army the units inside the transport will try to follow this order as soon as they get dropped out of the transport, this also seems to include attack orders. So when you drop a unit after an all army order the unit will start walking in the direction of the last all army order. This is super annoying when using KINGPIN as you want them to shoot as soon as you drop them out. As it stands they drop out and then start walking off instead of shooting!

Here is a replay which shows this behavior, unfortunately it is rather long.

    This issue is still happening and makes using transports a lot harder than they would otherwise be. You have to drop off a Kingpin and then give it a new set of orders or it will almost certainly commit seppuku or simply waddle off into the unknown.

    This is a particularly annoying problem if you are using the time-honored hotkey containing both ShuttleTransport and ReaverKingpin. You punch your "unload" button as your Transport is moving in a direction, hoping the Kingpin will fire once as you quickly order a new pickup, but instead it keeps running toward wherever you last told the Transport to move, so even when you're trying to micro tightly it can be punishing.
