The fly through stuff also happens with V models. I have recently been playing around with docking. It seems that the GTT Argo goes through the hull of a Deimos, whenever it is docking.  

i've noticed that my wingmen are able to jump directly through the hull of the Colossus when ordered to depart as well

Naaa. that works only for scripted events. those are allowed to avoid colision issues (the ships jumps out at a safe distance of the colossus, but as the colossus moves, while the ship is already jumping, it comes in the path of the ship... how to ha,dle what would happen then? That's why it jumps through it. that's on purpose, no bug here

Does it happen with jumping in as well, though (cos I have a worry about that in one model)?  A Ravana (?) went clean through one on my big custom ships when I was testing it, but I assumed it was a jump event (I'd replaced a cruiser with a ship 8 times bigger, so the distances were all screwy for the mission).

Sure, there are events which turn off collision detection (and also mass detection ?). During docking or warping it must be switched off, otherwise the ships would push or damage each other. I figured out, that this fly through thing with the GTT Argo is also related to docking paths. When I moved the closest path vertice away from the dock point of the Deimos, it never happened again.
