I don't think that this is the problem actually. From what I can see, I'd say that it's due to the death animation itself (but there should be more that 1 unit impacted imo) or some vertices not correctly assigned (I'll start from that supposition). So basically, when the archer dies, the mesh seems streched and so the texture attached to it.
Edit: Got a temporary solution to fix this issue. Easy to do 
Go to the EDU and look for the peasant archers entry. You should get this:

This part refers to the soldier "skeleton" to use. This references an entry in the battle_models.modelsdb file, which determines how the unit moves around.. With this trick, it just replace the peasant archers' one by the longbowmen one. In game, you won't probably see any difference
That's a temporary fix while I'm trying to find out what it's wrong with the peasant archers but at least, that will allow you to use that unit without that painfull bug
