This was listed as fixed in the patch notes for 1.3.0.

Parties do not recruit prisoners of defeated parties if they are at their party size limit. This was causing some AI parties to lose their better troops because of desertion.

Did 1.3.1 unfix this then?

Yea, a dev mentioned in a post somewhere how it caused unintended side-effects for lords, I think. So they had to undo this change.

I think the issue has been put on the backburner for now.

Well crap. The over recruiting thing is a real problem. This was an important fix.

I wonder how exactly it caused problems for lords. Do they benefit from over recruiting somehow?

I misrememberd, sorry, it seems the fix caused a bug for the player when trying to recruit prisoners.

Here is the quote:

Sorry but I have to revert that fix because it caused another bug (player could not recruit prisoners of defeated parties). We solve that bug (clan parties recruit from defeated parties and go over party size bug) wrong way so it is reverted for a time. Probably this bug is still happening. Will check it again and solve it when issues currently we are working on (some (10%) lords go bankrupt) are completed.

No, that's for AI lords, not companions as I understand it. Companions still over recruit:

Companions that create army exceed the party size limit which causes his troops to desert constantly.

Known Issues (1.3.1)

Ah so they fixed it for lords and not for companions.

Companions only seem to over recruit when they liberate prisoners. A simple check before adding prisoner to the companion party would suffice to fix this.

That's how I understand it, yes. They would have removed it from known issues otherwise.
