Protect vassal city state?!

A number of times, my vassal city states have been declared on my civs.
I'd expected this to give a CB to declare on the aggressor civ?

Seems only natural; that's how the typical feudal vassal<->suzerain relationship is interpreted to work in every other game I've played.

So what am I missing? Is there a late game tech that enables this CB?
If so, why's it late game?!?

If we're going to accept the contrivance that the vassal<->suzerain relationship with city states is available right from the get-go in 4000BC, surely the fundamental mechanics that go along with that relationship should be available too?
 
Ok, quick check, and I have the civic necessary for protectorate CB. (Diplomatic Service)
Yet no CB is available through diplomacy? 0_o

Does it matter that I have the civ already denounced?

Whether or not this is a bug, the point still stands, as to why the CB should be locked behind a civic tech......
