One note on the changes made in the JRC3 patch -
The targeting modification ONLY works if you have MORE than ONE fleet attacking a running fleet that gets split.

If I have 3 fleets of ships (or I split my fleet into 3 fleets the same turn the fleeing ships split), AND, All ships are targeted on teh fleeing fleet of ships, the targeting algorithm will be modified dynamically sending each of my 3 fleets after a different target. Part of this is done by chasing down the target with the largest mass.

If I have one fleet of ships set to attack a fleet that gets split the same turn, my ships do not get split to try to chase down the now seperate fleets (and herein lies the entire heart of the original discussion). My fleet will be assigned to attack only one fleet of the now multiple fleets.

This issue has always been a little contentious and so far the best solution for any game has just been to allow splitting fleets in any way one wishes provided the drop down display for a specific location is not overloaded and the battle board is not overloaded.

Though we often ask how and why, we must also do to get the answers to the questions.
