Lucky Jack and I were dissecting this a while back but I've lost track of which thread it was in.
The following behavior _seems_ to be a side effect of the change in how ship movement is handled when the ship is off-screen.
If two or more constructors are sent, on autopilot, to the same destination starbase and the first constructor arrives at the destination while the second is still off-screen the second constructor will drop out of autopilot about half a sector from the destination and just sit there.
If the second contructor is on-screen when the first constructor arrives it will proceed to the destination as expected.
