I also have seen this for small and medium ships.  Anyone ever see a FB 
"dreadnought" or "superdreadnought" suffer this single game turn fate 
from another single FB ship (any size)?  (i.e. not the combined fire or 
missile salvos/plasma bolts of a squadron or task group)

I saw one come close but not quite.  A NAC SD got too close to a Phalon 
SD (2x pulsar-L, 2x Pulsar-M, 7x Pulsar-C) and was reduced to a small 
portion of the 4th row of hull boxes, despite firing first.  RNS Mers 
El-Kebir should have been more careful :)
