A topic from AEG's L5R CCG Rules forum, copied for Oracle of the Void from a copy of the forum saved in October 2015, so pages it didn't save are missing. Players' names are left out; the rules officials are named. Rulings are as they stood on these dates; later rulings, the rulebooks and the Rules Archive may differ.
Regarding this : viewtopic.php?f=59&t=62529
I believe this is incorrect, as per Doomed Intentions card text : If there are enemy units at the current battlefield: Move one of your target units there. If it moved, straighten it. If you are the Defender, take an additional Battle action printed on a card in the unit.
Emphasis mine. Pass is not printed on a card in the unit, ad nothing seems to allow the possibility of NOT taking the action (no conditional).
Am I right?

Actually, I am just guilty of forgetting my own rule to search the forum first.

That was before Samurai Edition rules were out, but I think I'll stick with the original ruling for stability's sake.
Fixing.
