Shift clicked fleets will move together to the same places, but not neccesarily at exactly the same moment. I did some tests with it and could never get them to attack at the same time, regardless of varying fleet speed.

I used it to attack a super-heavyweight defended planet in simultaneous (Play by LAN). I shift-clicked to send in an unfleeted Battlemoon, a fleet of support ships, and two 120 ship fleets.
Result: one combat, with 250 ships spread across the entire right half of the combat map.

Interesting. Apparently this was changed at some point since I tested it, cause I just ran some more tests now and confirmed what you are seeing. Don't remember what Version I was using before when it didn't work. Nice to see it does now, but I dont' see anyhting in the history anywhere that it was changed.
