Apologies is this better belongs in tech support. I saw this when I set up a recent game. This is a glitch, correct, being able to see the enemy light cav and light archers as i purchased my list?

Yes.
The light horse may have deployed beyond their normal deployment area to avoid deploying in the wood. Not sure why, but that may have altered the deployment of the other light troops too. As a result they were beyond the FOW area.

The large expanse of Water Tiles taking up some of the available deployment area might have something to do with it.

Not directly, because units blocked by terrain will only deploy up to 2 squares away from the original position the AI tried to deploy them. If there is nowhere available the will deploy on the baseline.

It is a multiplayer game, if that matters to any of the thinking.

It has happened in one of my multiplayer games as well. First time I've seen it. It happened in a game using the latest version of the TT Mod.
