1 I feel pretty confident that it's a pathing issue, not commands getting lost. Think about it as if you're doing a bombing run -- when you drop the bomb, the bomber's going to tend to go in that direction and kind of make a circle around, with an acceleration force in the direction it's attempting to head to. If you click-move the plane to go back to your base right when it's at the elbow of that acceleration curve, depending on if you click before or after that elbow, then the pathing will either go left or it'll go right. So in the plane's attempt to "correct" itself by having an acceleration going the opposite way, it ends up going straight until the acceleration catches up, allowing it to finally turn around. It's kinda like slamming on the brakes, but with air dynamics. A pathing lookahead could easily solve this specific problem. 1 I feel pretty confident that it's a pathing issue, not commands getting lost.
