Would not consider it is as a bug. it stops looking for targets but this case it has one. If you would like. I can clear it's target btw...

Would make more sense. At the very least, to get a less damaged fighter if it heads for your base :)
Now if damage to the craft caused some injuries/whatever to the crew... I mean... A fighter gets blown out of the skies and crashes in pieces, and you get five perfectly healthy aliens? :) I seem to recall UFO have them damaged or sometimes even killed by a crash.

aliens may hurt or even die when their UFO crashes.

btw. the autofire stuff is changed in master and ufoai_2.3.

Never saw a single corpse. Like, never ever. There are sometimes less or more aliens spawned, but that's true also for any mission, even for intact landed UFOs and terror missions, and is most noticeable on the mining/Central Asia map where you always have a direct LoS on three spawn points, and see two more on the first turn.

Not noticeable, really... Even if you look for that. Just random difference between retries of the same battle is much higher (different number/species of aliens, weapons, armor).
