Jump to the system mentioned following the QUiCKEST route (multiple short jumps are much faster then 1 long jump) , NOT the shortest route.
Once there, go witchpoint - planet - station route, that route gives the best chance to find it.

I finished the mission once I realized what was going on. Still, it's a bug.

If you mean the "ship has gone to other system" message only showing at loading and not at docking, that is a bug indeed.

The fact the ship you search does jump to another system if you dally with getting there does feel realistic to me.

Yes. The point is: If I save the game and reload, there shouldn't be a difference to continuing directly. But in this case there is, if I continue then I don't get a message (and I have no clue if the ship moved on or not), if I save/load then I get a message that the ship has moved to a different system.

I also have an UPS mission where the system to go is some string like ups_planetnumber (don't have my Oolite at hand). There is a planet with a marker on the map, hope that's the one.
