I've read in the known bugs thread that IT gate scanning doesn't work from a 150/600 gate or an any/800 gate, but is the 100/250 also affected?
Situation would be this: Two IT races start within 250ly of each other - one has ISB, one does not. The player with ISB doesn't appear to the player without ISB, but the player without ISB does appear to the player with ISB.

To quote from Know Bugs:

Improved Starbases makes gates invisible to some IT gate scanning. ITs can't see ISB gates with 150kT/600ly gates and infinite/800ly.
This may seem like a limited liability, however, there is often a fairly long period where infinite/800ly gates are the best that can be built, before the 100ly/infinite or infinite/infinite gates can be built. {quote LEit}
Note that the other race only needs the ISB LRT, they do not have to build a Space Dock or an Ultra Station to make their gate invisible, any hull will do.

What you're seeing is probably the 20% cloak provided by ISB, note that that cloaking was taken into account when testing the bug (with JRC4).
