I learned this one the hard way: If you told them to attack the planet and they got beat up doing it but they are still there, they still have the order to attack in their command queue. When you tell them to leave, they think they have to attack the planet first. You have to clear their existing commands before you tell them to leave.
And no, I didn't learn this by watching a lone carrier that had lost all of its fighters, repeatedly attack a planet, then sit in the corner since it couldn't actually do anything.
