I don't see what the problem is here. To do what you describe, all you have to do is give the ship the Move order, then the Recover Units order, specifying the appropriate location for each. You can give a ship several consecutive orders, and they'll be done in the order given.

Of course that can be done, but you shouldn't have to. Hence the nitpick. If you click Move To at position X, and then Recover Units at position Y, why should the game assume you want to recover units from position X?

There are work arounds to all the original 19 points, really.
