I believe the bonus for a tower is defensive, not offensive (I could
quite easily be wrong).  In that case, it seems ok that the attacking
units got benefits of the tower's defense.

Keep talking about this; more sepecifically, instead of what you don't
like about the current use of fortifications in combat, what role
would you like them to play in combat?  (the "you" there is plural,
and not intended to pick on Karl).

Are you saying they shouldn't get a bonus because they were stacked
with a tower, or shouldn't get a bonus at all?  I can see why you
might find a mounted bonus in a building a little odd :-), but a
mounted bonus in the open seems fine to me.
