merchants slow down

Hi, I found this strange AI behaviour, hope someone can help me figure out if it is as designed. I am playing with RFB 1.52

When I found lone merchants, they are usually cruising at 8 to 10 knots, somehow, when I approach them, I can see their speed dropping drastically to 3 or 4 knots

My guess is that it is either a bug or maybe they found me, and tried to escape by zig-zaging/ changing course constantly, but being slow ships, that is the best speed they can make

thanks a lot!
