It's a bug. Unless Steve fixed it in 5.55.

Yes it is somewhat of an exploit, however it is presently one of the few ways of keeping the civilians numbers in check and keeping the current fleet relatively up to date by subsidising the civ line for the cost of a newer replacement. I'd be all for having it removed as long as the civ lines are given the ability to be ordered to "refit class" or "retire class" (preferably both so we can still choose to keep the numbers down).

...so wait, does this mean you can design absurd civilian ships, like orbital habitats with 1 cargo container, and a civilian line will eventually produce one. Then tractor it and it's yours? *starts designing civilian battlestations for future recapture!*

Make sure you are in the same location as the cicilian ship.
