The avoid battle option gives a military group a 50% to avoid a battle per movement phase. There are 6 movement phases in a turn, so the chances of avoiding battle for an entire turn are .5^6 = .015 -- that is to say, there's less than a 2% chance of being able to avoid battle for an entire movement phase. The odds of avoiding battle for two movement phases is only .02%. The two main uses for avoid battle are to try to gain a little delay while attempting to rendezvous with a unit that's en route to help you fight in the province, or else to try to slip past enemy units into one of your provinces (since you can't move past enemy units to move into enemy territory).
We could add an option to disallow avoiding battles for military groups that are besieging, but as avoid battle isn't really an effective way to, uhm, avoid battle, I tend to think that this would just add complexity to the interface that probably isn't necessary.
