Description
[2021.3] Science ship stuck in infinite system survey loop

Game Version
2021.3

What version do you use?
Steam

What expansions do you have installed?
Synthetic Dawn, Utopia, Leviathans Story Pack, Apocalypse, Megacorp, Distant Stars, Ancient Relics, Lithoids, Federations

Do you have mods enabled?
No

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
When I attempt to survey a specific system (The systems of rat folk on the junk tomb world) the science ship will finish surveying the system, and stop. However, the system still shows up as unsurveyed from the galaxy map, and the science ship can be ordered to survey it again, which it will do and then stop, but the system will still be unsurveyed. There are two science ships from a neighboring empire stuck infinitely surveying the systems (they are on automatic exploration).

The planets are named Lost Encampment and Ruinous Core in one unsurveyable system (they are the planets that the ships survey infinitely), Crumbling Borough and Decayed hub in a second unsurveyable system, and Fallen Outpost in the third unsurveyable system.
I am not using any mods. I have every expansion except the newest one, Nemisis.

My game is in ironman mode.

The species on the unsurveyable junkyard tomb-world planets are called Ketlings

I have verified the integrity of my game files via the Steam tool.

Steps to reproduce the issue.
Start game
Discover Ketlings
Attempt to survey their planets

The ships in the attached picture (one from my empire, one from another) have been surveying those two planets, going back and forth between the two, for several decades.

I have just started experiencing this bug after buying new DLC. I don't know which DLC is causing this bug, but not being able to survey is a real issue. Before buying the DLC I didn't have this issue. I've started three games, send my science ship out, and they just survey. Forever. When I look at the little survey percentage the number is a negative number. It just keeps getting lower and lower. It never finishes the survey.
