The bonus damage stuff is not a bug at all. It's definitely necessary for balancing. Skirmishers and Huskarls still have low melee armor so they die quickly to massed mames but can also deal heavy damage to Mamelukes.

I would say that Mamelukes should take bonus damage from Camel Archers so they go even with them. This means that they would have to be given the Cavalry Archer armor class, and to balance this so that they wouldn't take more damage from skirms they should get +2 armor in the Archer class. This would mean that Huskarls deal -2 damage to them than before.
