Impossible Interdiction (a bug?)

What do you think - a bug or just bad luck?

The piracy sequence started before hyperspace and finished afterwards.
Throttle was set to zero during the jump but speed was 0.3C upon exit.
 
Happened to me too once before, really surprises you when it happens though I didn't have time to check if there were any blips on the scanner when it happened to me.

By the looks (hard to say as the clip is so small) but you did receive a message in local chat, perhaps from npc[?] just before you jumped. May be the reason. I've heard some cmdrs suggesting they've dragged an npc to another system whilst in the interdiction mini-game and you happen to cross and align with the escape vector/destination so the countdown can start, this bug you've shown is probably similar in some way.

Seen it a few times. It's one of the known bugs with npc interdictions. Was this while on a mission? I'd still report it.
 
Had this numerous and other NPC-related interdiction 'bugs' numerous times and have started threads about it which either tend to get ignored or some smart alec will inform me I'm doing something wrong (lol).

At least we'll get a load of shiny new stuff soon as FD appear to have little to no interest in fixing a lot of these annoying little bugs.
