Is this a bug with the AI

I noticed that the AI was picking on the Scotlingass (sp?) minor race. Naturally I came to the protection of them because they were awesome trade partners, and according to the description, was controlled by women, so I had to protect the ladies....
Anyways, I blockaded the planet from the Acreans.... the problem with the Acreans is that they seemingly brought their entire fleet into the sector. I'm talking easily 60 to 70 ships in the sector (there was one square that had a stack of 20 of them)
It seems to me that this is something of a bug. Being human and all, if I see some grossly superior force surrounding a planet, I'm not sure I'd load up a fleet on top of them, thus risking agitating them. It would seem to me that the computer would find a way around them. Aside from that the Acreans were taking an AWFUL long time to bring a transport to conquer their defenseless worlds.
Just a thought... if they cant get at their target, they ought to move on to another target or cut through to the target if they think its feasible...
If they see a planet defenseless...take it.
