Defense reacion of AI attacks transports before attacking ship?

I have just noticed this and it looks strange. Perhaps it should work this way, but it is not what I expected, nor is it consistant.

An enemy planet has ships in orbit and a colony wagon (I think this is a phantom ship because I have tried to attack it and my Avatar just moves into the same tile) in the tile just to the south. I have a transport in the tile SW and S of the planet and my Avatar is in the tile to the SE. When I attack the planet my two transports are destroyed, and one of the enemy ships in orbit is destroyed. My Avatar takes some damage, but is not destroyed.

Is this supposed to happen this way?

Cheers,
Jack
