Then the civvies simply have nowhere to pick people up from. Your colonies under 25mil automatically reset to destination, but the ones over will keep their status. Note if a civilian ship is already on the way to pick up colonists when you set the colony to stable, it will still pick up that load.
That functionality seems to be broken in 5.53. It also resets to "destination of colonists", as soon as I leave that ledger page.
Well, it works for me anyway. I currently have a game where I'm using that to prevent civilians from causing a labour shortage on earth.
