Well, that's an interesting trick. I wonder what the chances are that the ship will attack the colony vs. run off and do some other crazy thing that pops into the AIs flighty 'mind'.

Another option is to use intelligence projects to wipe out the colony. You can use intelligence operations against your allies. It will cost you a little bit of 'good will' if they notice who is doing it, but as long as you don't have to remove dozens of colonies this should not be a problem. And lots of low-level 'sabotage' projects can do enough damage to completely destroy a new, small colony.
