Just put your ship in the exact spot where cargo ships appear in crimson haze pve and it will happen to you!
I have this problem too. And like many have said; it happens quit often (I play on the US Server, if that helps). I have not been able to get a screenshot as of yet, and I don’t do youtube.
I will see if I can get a screenshot sometime.
Like described earlier, this bug seems to happen randomly after teleporting into a sector in open space. The escorts around a cargo transport appear to teleport off the sector, then teleport back to their spot, leaving engine trails. Each jump happens for 1 second, and the entire phenomenon happens for about 10 or less. The cargo transport does not act odd in any way, and continues flying normally. Rarely, the escorts teleport around the transport in a star or jagged circle pattern.
This issue isn’t directly connected to lag or packet loss!
There are just some issues with pathfinding. Looks really annoying.
Some escort ships may become invisible or go nuts all over the map with those sprites.
It usually is noticed, when you warp into a sector, if you have a keen eye.

How to reproduce it?
As you saw, simply changing sectors can make it occur. No idea if it can constantly be reproduced as it doesn’t always happen.
I think it is because escort ships are too close or contacting the cargo ship when they are created in that server instance. The cargo ship is always stopped when the escorts are bugged until it stabilises itself.

True. I went back from my daily mission and when I warped back to Guardian-17, I got this issue with the escort ship, doing crazy yellow trail all over the map, until it eventually got on the proper position spot.
Some more pictures. The left one shows me almost getting hit with the teleporting ships. The right picture shows them glitching around while their transport continues placidly on it’s trip. Notice how in all these pictures, the teleportation seems to happen in an angular star/circle pattern.
