I think you would have to apply Movement rules besides Retreat rules to this case. As Judd Vance said.
7.4 Restrictions on Movement
The following restrictions apply to movement at all times:
A. In order to enter a space containing an enemy CU, a General
must be moving with at least one friendly CU. A General
moving without a CU may move through a space containing
an enemy General without accompanying CUs, but may not
stop in that space.
So, lone enemy Generals can't share the same location. So, it´s an ilegal move. So, the British General is captured by a small but devoted force of local rebels. Shame on him.
Retreat is not Movement in most wargames. Movement rules don't govern retreat. Similarly, in most wargames Advance After Combat is not Movement.
In Washington's War Reinforcement may be allowed to spaces to which Naval Movement is not allowed. Reinforcement is not Movement.
What often makes sense to us gamers is not what the rules specify.
