Yes that also will happen. It's very close, and the warrior monks win due to their higher morale. But I'm sure that in your test your warrior monks would have been bloodied by the samurai. Honestly I expected the monks to come out on top, due to their higher morale and melee defense. But surprise surprise.
Yes, Katana Samurai have lower recruitment criteria, are cheaper and better armoured than Warrior Monks, but the Monks can fight off cavalry effectively as well. Moreover, I have not used the Monks' Warcry ability here. Monks are almost like Naginata Samurai, lack armour but fight better, whereas Katana Samurai are generally more infantry counter heavy. A unit of Katana Cavalry can shred the Katana Samurai in a frontal attack. But it all depends on a person's playstyle and their notion of an ideal army.
On my test the warrior monks won against katana samurai

Armored warrior monks vs samurai win every time.
It was very close. If the two units faced off against cavalry though, the monks would win.
The monks have not used Warcry ability yet.
