I've just had a wierd experience as well:
I was playing the Terrans and was in first place and I had a partnership treaty with the Abbidon who were in Last place. One of their main planets was blockaded (for several turns) by the Amonkorie (who were in fourth) and just had a trade alliance with the Abbidon. Since I was good friends with the Abbidon and wanted to help them out, I demanded the Amonkorie leave the planet - which they did.
Except, when they left - they glassed the planet.
Let's just say the Abbidon on Sephrandis V did not die in vain.
The Terrans (Me) abandoned their treaty with the Amonkorie and struck their largest fleet - and left nothing behind.
