Yeah, the low-pop scenario is what concerns me. The problem is, each ship will unload all or none of its ordnance on that Last turn - and if we are talking about the multiple napalm-bomb ships I use for planetary assault, they often wipe out the 100M+ pop in the final volley. What I was looking for was for the ship to fire 'em one at a time, so that there is a chance of preserving the population.

No they don't. If using the right strategies (default capture planet), direct fire weapons stop being fired as soon as there are no weapon platforms left. A ship will not fire 6 direct fire weapons if the first 2 finish off the Last WP. Now, seeker weapons (which napalm is not one of, it is direct fire) cause a problem because all of them get fired off before the damage from any is done, so too many will get launched.

Do you have SE4 Gold, or regular SE4?
