I am using the English version of X3:TC 1.2 (no scripts or mods) and I get the following text in the Mission Briefing Window for a "Return Stolen Ship" mission:
"The ship is currently in Jupiter 2, apparently heading object.route.gate.name@L2M105 Return Ship.Ship. Capture it before it gets to its destination, then return to me."
This mission description is obviously buggy.
As a side note, I don't consider it appropriate that I lose reputation with the race of the thief when I attack the stolen ship, especially since I am not informed of the race of the thief before I accept the mission. I think it would be better to treat thieves the same way as smugglers, i.e. you can attack them without any reputation penalty.
