I think it's known by now to the Devs since multiple players (me included) have seen this even after the trading improvements of 1.21.
Hope they'll give those lazy workers a Dev nudge soon :D

Are these low-star captains, or relatively high star (3+) who should be fairly competent with flying and trading?

There might be a reason for that, my ships fly great distances all the time. They sometimes get stuck when they miss the single buy offer in my known/sat-tracked universe with their cargo full.

I have 3-4 star pilots and 0 skills as well. Unskilled ones tend to pick worse deals in terms of cargo space utilisation but that might just be bad luck.. im not monitoring them 24/7.

Auto trade (galaxy) is bugged. Traders hardly ever seem to leave the sector they start in.

Using the Auto trade in the behavior panel works alot better. Its a pain to setup adding all the wares. But my traders will fly all over the map using it.

Not only the autotrade is bugged, the stations who buy and sell are bugged too, and the npcs trading have the same bugs as the autotrader.

Stationbugs:
Prices calculated wrong or just not economoically correct (empty storage - high buy/sell price)
They dont buy to their full store capacity, even tho their store is empty: example: 0 energy in stock, buy for 18 cr per pcs but only buy 200 at once, which are gone immerdiately of course , which stalls their production and no one ever trades with them energy anyway since this small amount gives only max 2000 profit per run.
