Default Lost Orders

I ordered my SY-ship to build a cheap escort ship (as a wormhole-drone), it should be ready in 0.3 years. The SY-ship belonged to a fleet which had lots of destroyed components, I've let the fleet w/o moving over a wormhole for the time (to build the escort). In the meantime I have popped up several emergency resupply components of some of the ships. 0.3 years later no escort ship was build. So I did some observations with SY-ships:

1. If you give building orders to it, then use emergency resupply or emergency propulsion, the order and every material which is used before the use/destroy component is gone
- BTW this happens to every ship: order to move somewhere, load cargo an so on... pop-up an emergency component: order is lost

2. Then I observed the other way: I have a SY-ship without any destroyed components, use/destroy a component, after that I give the order to build a ship, the order is visible in the queue, end turn, and guess what ? The next turn the queue is empty !

A SY-ship looses its orders if it has to repair own components, can anybody tell me if that's intended ? I shouldn't think so, but I might be wrong.
