Super-accelerated convoy movement
This occurred about 5 minutes before this post.
I took an escort mission from Dau I-7 to Deneb I-12. The convoy launched as normal, and until it jumped to Dau O-6 all was normal. Before it jumped to Dau O-6, I jumped to Dau P-14, then to O-6. In that much time, it had apparently gone through Dau O-6 and into Nyrius B-10. I followed, and in the time it took my cell to charge and the jump to occur, the escort had already reached Nyrius O-15. At this point, I gave up on the escort. In the 20 seconds before I could jump back to Dau, it had already reached Verasi C-2.
This is clearly very abnormal behaviour, as even players in Greyhounds cannot travel at such speeds. Convoys definitely don't. It could be linked to the last update.

Copy from my errors.log, with some spammy stuff from a plugin + chat messages removed.
So the convoy jumped to Dau O-6 at 21:17:54
I entered Dau P-14 two seconds later.
By the time I jumped to Dau O-6 10 seconds later, it had jumped to Nyrius B-10. Usually I can travel this exact same route, and when I enter the sector my escort convoy will be at its jump-in point.
In the next 47 seconds, the convoy had already gone ahead into the next sector. This is again not normal, as anyone who has taken escort missions regularly can confirm.
When I jumped back to Dau O-6, 46 seconds later, the convoy had gone through Nyrius O-15 (something that usually takes about 90 seconds when the sector is active and longer when it's not).
I could not replicate the bug with other escort missions.
