It doesn't happen often and I put it down to the convoy being spooked by something and all hell breaks lose with ships going in all directions. It can also happen soon after an attack on the convoy. I've also seen one ship in a convoy being out of position and moving in and out of the convoy lanes at a higher speed than the rest trying to slot in somewhere.
