Lawrence answered this one.  They are out of command until they move. Shooting is not moving... The rules say what they say!

There is a plausible alternative understanding of what the rules say, though.

"For other actions ambushing UGs are out of command until they have moved unless their
general is with them in ambush."

One might take the view that an UG that has been revealed (by shooting) is no longer "ambushing".
In support of this view, if a general that has been swanning around in the open joins them after they have been revealed, one would hardly describe that general as "in ambush", but it's hard to believe the UG would be out of command in that situation. 

Would the following wording describe the intention more clearly ?

"For other actions ambushing UGs (whether revealed or not) are out of command until they have moved, unless their
general is with them."

Exactly what I mean . What is revealing an ambush ? does shooting reveal an ambush ? what is written and what is intended !

Okay - an ambushing UG is any UG placed on an ambush card.
An ambushing UG is out of command until they have moved.

Hopefully this is now clear.
