Then this must be a common occurrence, namely anytime a random AI happens to have the same ship set as chosen by the player.
No, I think you've misunderstood what I said. The game is perfectly happy with multiple players having the same shipset.
Here's an example. Player A joins a PBW game and uploads an .emp with his race using the SW-Emp1 custom shipshet. Player B in the same game, who has never installed SW-Emp1, will see a different random shipset for Player A every turn, until he downloads and installs SW-Emp1 himself. The shipset Player B sees may or may not be being used by another player in the game.
What appears to have happened to you is that the shipset you used to create the .emp file for the game isn't installed properly; it's either not there at all, in the wrong folder, or the filenames for the individual .bmp files don't match the folder name.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"
