This has always been around. Didn't you wonder why the AI always has damaged ships and goes through the damaging wormholes? Even if you set up systems to avoid your ministers and the AI ignore that. Its a known bug but one that hasn't been squashed yet.

My guess is its too hard to do that so far because what if that damaging wormhole is the only way out of an AI system? Does that AI have to just sit there untill it researches and builds a wormhole opening ship? Since even damaging warp points are considered a connection the AI as it stands wouldn't research stellar manipulation and if it couldn't go through that damaging wormhole if it is the only path it would just sit there like the neutral empires. This would especially hurt the AI in ancient galaxies (like they need more problems there) because it would be more likely to occur.

To fix this the AI would have to have some command to never use them UNLESS they were the only path and if so they should start researching stellar manipulation. So far making decisions isn't one of the highlights of the current AI.
