I am in a game #605008 where I was tailing an enemy plane and the tailing box said he was going STRAIGHT. I moved based on that and then found out he went RIGHT.

I have had about three other games where when tailing someone after I select a maneuver but before I click the MOVE button I see the TAILING box suddenly change to a different direction.

I think a number of us have seen this lately.

I have a thought on how to prove (to coders) that it's not just players failing to remember correctly

Without giving other players information they should not have.
If you are tailing someone AND you are last to move - then before you submit your move, you could write a message saying somoething like 'Bug Testing - tailing reports EdwardLaneUK is going Straight ahead' then make your move, then you can look at the move the player made, and see if it matches up - if not write 'Bug confirmed - Edwardlane moved 15R3' or whatever.

If you do that every time you are tailing someone AND are last to move - it should eventually get to the point where you have confirmed the bug, I guess if you manage a few hundred turns without it you've probably shown that it has been fixed.
