My guess is that if you had done that turns ship orders and then hit end turn you would have been fine. It isn't really that you lose your turn, it's just that the AI doesn't take over till the turn following when you give it the command to resolve combat. I believe the same thing happens out of combat if you go in and set your empire to AI control. The AI doesn't do anything to your current turn, but once it process the next turn will take over control and start giving your ships and planets orders.

It's the same if you just turn the AI on in the middle of combat, and click end turn each turn. The AI takes over after the end of the turn it was turned on in. On the other end, if you turn off the AI in the middle of combat you won't be able to move untill the next turn. Since resolve combat just turns the AI on and ends each turn for you they behave the same way, except you can't turn off resolve combat. I never thought of it as a bug, but I suppose it kind of is. I always just thought we were missing a button to make the AI move and fire, without ending the turn.

The point is, you should MAKE ALL YOUR MOVES before turning on the AI because once do, theres no going back and the AI won't do a damn thing until the next turn... resulting you loosing a turn and getting your arss kicked.
