If I take a look into the release notes, it looks like several issues regarding colonizers have been struggled with:
Version 1.61:
1. Changed - The Default_Ai_Construction_Vehicles.txt file will now allow for the design name or the design type. The term "Colonizer" is till hard-coded to be evaluated to the needed type of colonizer. When looking for the design to build, the game will look for the latest design which matches the design name. If no match is found, then the latest design which matches the design type will be located. If neither is found, this purchase item will be skipped.
Version 1.62:
1. Fixed - The AI was not purchasing colonizing ships.
But my guess is this one, due to the extraordinary costs of colonizers in proportions:
Version 1.66:
4. Fixed - Improved the AI's calculation of resources available for purchases of ships and units.
