Fighters interception bug

Occasionally, when my fighters intercept nearby attack aircraft, they aren't visible, and the bombed unit and my fighters constantly spin around shooting at absolutely nothing for like 30 seconds straight, then warp back to their starting positions. This only started happening recently though, and only after I patched my game a few months ago. Does this happen to anyone else?
 
Yes, I have had this happen quite a bit under patch 217. I don't know if it happened before, as I didn't bother with aircraft before.

The fighters go around and around shooting at nothing for 5-10 seconds and then appear back in their home city.
 
Giant Death Robots do this too, in 217.
 
Something else.
When a fighter is defending it won't get experience points.
The ground unit, which has been attacked, gets the XPs.
 
This same bug applies to AA guns. I believe the attack fighter/bomber animation is missing, much like the missing drop plane for paratroops (at launch the para one has since been fixed). Sometimes on fighter intercepts I see the attacking fighter but not all the time. If the AA opens up on an aerial attack, I do not ever remember seeing the attackers. Probably not much time to play test this since the AI only recently learned how to use flying machines.

I noticed the part about defending aircraft not receiving XP's but did not know they went to the ground unit. Should that be a separate bug item? At least they go somewhere.

Can supply saves/screen shots if needed.
