aircraft con nano spray source trails behind on reclaiming

I've noticed in the latest version of spring (0.72b1) that the source of a construction plane's nano spray during reclaimation is in the wrong position. It seems to trail behind the plane a set distance but on the same path as the plane took. It doesn't do this while building or repairing.

If it's what I think it is, that happens, it's just the way nano particles are. When they are 'created' at the wreckage to be reclaimed, they move on a path that goes to where the Construction unit was at the time that the particle was spawned. Their path does not get updated to follow the construction unit, so when construction aircraft do their circling thing, the nano particles don't try to catch up.

yeah
it looks really funny with long ranges... play Krogball to see what i mean
the krogball team's comm has infinite range (to set up goals with fort walls, etc.) so it looks funny if you reclaim stuff and move, or build things (tons of nano in the air)
