Default Cloaking AI Bug in 1.27?

I've seen two different Messages from different people here saying that they have apparently gotten log error Messages when AIs try to launch units from cloaked ships. In one case the guy got 300 log Messages saying that an AI was trying to do this and it wasn't allowed. In the other case the person got just one log message saying it wasn't allowed but his game locked and he had to kill it.

It appears the the AI cloaking routine in 1.27 is still trying to operate under the old 1.19 AI rules when launching units from cloaked ships. This routine may now be broken under 1.27 which places some new restrictions on what ships can do while cloaked.

Can anyone else confirm this or post more information on the issue? Has it been reported to MM?

I sure hope this is not the case as it will make playing against races that use cloaking problematic at best. Maybe it can be modded to correct?
