Charge into rear through another unit's primary ZOC

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to me that charging like the enemy cavalry did here should not be possible:

Specifically, they charged into my warriors back (I made the screenshot on my turn, so the warriors , but they did it by moving onto primary ZOC of my hastati.
I went to the autosave and here's a screenshot of the situation as it was at the end of my previous turn:

As you can see, there was my skirmisher on the way. I played through enemy turn again, the cavalry actually originally charged at that skirmisher, which evaded, and cavalry moved further and charged the warriors. Is that working as intended?

I think when a unit is pursuing another unit that evaded (or is routing) it ignores any ZOCs, therefore it was able to charge through the hastati's zoc into the warband.

From the Manual 12.1.1: "Non-light troops ignore the ZOC of light troops. Evaders, routers and pursuers ignore ZOCs completely."

Ok, thank you for quick answer. I didn't realize the same rule affected units pursuing evaders like when pursuing routers.
