It is an inherent characteristic of the game engine, and apparently can't be fixed. A related matter: when the AI replaces an injured with another pitcher in the situation you describe, the new pitcher is credited with one pitch. That makes it "legal" for you (or the AI) to PH for that new pitcher or to replace that pitcher with someone else immediately. However, it can cause some unusual results in crediting things like ERs and Win-Loss.
Hope that at least answers your question.

Crediting the replacement pitcher with one pitch does not satisfy the requirements of rule 3.05b. The pitcher must pitch until the batter is out, reaches base or the side is put out. I've tried that in-game (pitchout) and not been allowed to make the substitution. One can hit the batter which comes with obvious risk.
