"Production" refers to resource, research and intel production. "Construction" refers to SY rates. So, that should indeed be fixed. SE4 is consistent with how it uses those terms, so the FAQ should be too.
Actually, 4.7.2 is correct as is. It means that SYs on ships and bases are not affected by population. It should be worded more clearly though.
"The construction rates of space yards on ships and bases are not affected by population or happiness."
