I was going to AP from Sol to The Nexus, but found that (and this was not an issue just yesterday) that each time the AP warped it would end up spinning away uncontroled from the gate in the next system. Hiting the thrusters or brakes brought the ship back under normal manual control.

EDIT: The ship AP'd normally right after I posted this. I dunno what's up.

EDIT 2: Okay it seems the issue is when I'm trying to AP to The Nexus from the higher layers. Whenever the AP gets the ship to Deep Space and warps into that galaxy, that's when it spins out of control.

EDIT 3: Even stranger now; when I switched from my Hotrod to a Cadet, the AP behaved normally going from Sol to The Nexus. When I got back into the Hotrod, it also behaved normally. I'll let a coder figure this one out or try to replicate it or something. Oo

EDIT 4 (oy!): My Hotrod spun out again upon AP warping into Ur'Ziq Bana.
