I haven't seen it do that as much as it used to, so maybe it is getting a little better. The thing that drives me nuts, though is when propulsion advances from, say, level 1 to level 2. The AI starts refitting ships to the new engines which give no benefit at all to it (other than perhaps a very small maintenance benefit) since speed does not increase. It's especially bad when it holds up a loaded colonizer for a couple of turns to refit its engines.
