Apparently there is an interesting (but painful) bug dealing with movement autonomies.
If you have a group (meaning any number of units that you made move as one selected mass) set to green alert and they are fired upon by a unit, if they are on medium or on high movement autonomy (special weapons autonomy doesn't matter) that mass of units will fire all at the same time upon that unit, despite their green alert status (they will also move in range of the target to fire upon it). On low movement autonomy they won't fire upon that unit. Only the units that are in the "group" seem to fire - other units that were not selected as a group do not seem to fire.
This could explain why artillery units and some other units continue to fire or move in range even on green alert.
