Culture Flip leaving behind defenders

I am presently playing a game in which I am utilizing culture to flip worlds to my favor. The problem I am having is that sometimes, when a world is converted, there are still defenders in orbit around the planet. The planet is mine, but the starships are just sitting there in orbit. I can see them on the bottom of the main screen and when I go through the planet-build ship option.

I believe this qualifies as a bug.

What version of the game are you running?

I just updated last night and the ships are still present (although I haven't had any on new flipped planets it didn't happen every time either.)

No response on what I should do about this? I didn't get to play much this last weekend but the ships are still in orbit around the planets. Thankfully they are still races that exist so I am hoping that when I destroy those races the ships will leave orbit.

I wouldn't expect any 'leftovers' from the issue to resolve themselves when loading the old save in a new version of the game (loading old saves in new versions is typically risky/messy at best). However if the problem does not recur, then it is likely fixed and will not trouble you in future games.
