If you scrap a fleet, not only does it's fleet slot not become available, but during the production phase fleets can become assigned to this slot (with the usual requisition message) even if another fleet is present

Result... Missing ships. Unused fleet number. Crying.

In the cases I've seen of the problem occurring, the scrapped fleet had a lower fleet number.
I just ran into this problem myself, and in all the cases of lost ships, the scrapping fleet had the lowest fleetID of all fleets at the planet.
In fact, it appears that, after the 512 fleet limit is hit, a fleet produced by a starbase is always merged with the lowest ID fleet in orbit at the planet. If that fleet happened to have scrap orders, the produced fleet just disappears.
I think this should be added to the Known Bugs list.
