I've only seen this happen in fleets with a lot of ships mothballed, like the Pirate Plunder Fleets. After the initial engagement they'll be left with a few Tarsus freighters left and a ton of ships in mothball, and apparently that makes them think they can still take my fleet. I get around this by repeatedly harrying and deploying a low tech ship that I purposely leave out of the first fight so that I have something on the field when they automatically retreat. It's annoying, but you'll get your plunder after you run the freighters out of CR and finish the pursuit encounter.
