movement bug?

I really don't understand this, I can move to the remote position but not anywhere along the way:

which prevents me from protecting the exposed unit.

This may seem odd, but it is working as intended.

Your unit is in the secondary ZOC of the enemy triarii. A unit that is in an enemy ZOC can only move away from that enemy, in a direction that must be within 45 degrees of directly away from the enemy unit.

The square that is highlighted fulfills that criterion, the ones in between don't. Because this effect of ZOCs is largely psychological, the logic takes into account the overall final direction (intent) of the move, not the intermediate squares. So although in order to get to the permitted square the unit would move through squares that don't fulfill the criteria for moving away from a ZOCing enemy, the overall move does fulfill those criteria, so does not breach the intent of the ZOC rules.

In short, your unit's freedom of choice of destination is constrained by starting in an enemy ZOC, in the way that the rules intend.

Thanks so much for the explanation!
