It definitely worked in 1.49. I've used it a few times in PBW (personal record: six planets captured by one fleet in one month-- the planets were aligned just right). I could have sworn I successfully used this tactic in my simultaneous solo Gold game, but it's been so long ago that I might just be misremembering (or just wishful thinking).

Geo: when you tried it, did you have line of sight to the target colonies? It won't work if you can't see that there's a colony on the planet.
