I've found that flaw to be annoying as well. There is a way around it (ordering the charge I mean), but doing it is even more annoying.
When grouping cavalry together, I've found that ordering them to rush a ground position alligned straight with the spot on the enemies line I want to charge works well to get them all to attack at once. When they are rushing to the position on the ground alligned with the spot I want to hit, before they stop...I then order them to keep rushing straight (into the spot of course) and not having them stop. Also, sometimes you might have to keep clicking (even more annoyance!) on the spot on the enemies line because sometimes you still may have a cavalry unit that is not rushing for various reasons (it reached the alligned spot first and is now waiting for orders, slow reaction to orders, slowly moving towards the second ordered spot, not charging etc etc etc.) Basically lots of clicking seems to work.
Kind of like this
XXXXXXX(2)XXXXXXX Enemy line
