Err, I may be misunderstanding but have you tried using the Move One/Five/All setting buttons on the right-hand side of the Deploy Units window?
To answer your actual question, I've seen the AI zap miners and such but they seem to be considered a very low priority, especially when not placed in a contested system. I suspect the AI is thinking it has more important things to do with those ships. Since whittling away the industrial base of an enemy can a great path to victory, I'd say there's a good chance it's wrong there!
