Possible bug report: Show population in mini-map

Early in the game, there are two things on the mini-map that seem out of place.
First, the show sector ownership shows the race that owns the sector even if I have never enountered them. Seems wrong that I should know who owns a piece of space before visiting it.
Second, the mini-map also allows me to show population and see the size of planets of opposing players. This easily lets me target the larger (and obviously more important) planets before even visiting the sector, and in the case of my current game, even before I developed the Universal Translator.
I think the "fog of war" should apply to this information on the mini map as well and not show those kind of details until I have visited the sector.
