No, this is not about rabbits and dogs that were shipped to Australia which then multiplied uncontrolled, nor about ship rats^^
Or well maybe it is:
I sadly avoided researching "Uplifting" for quite some time, and then there came a time where I needed to colonise an arctic world to continue my landgrab, and the only species within my empire able to colonise this with good habitability was "pre-sentient". Since I had landed one of my standard race (sentient) colonists on that "Menyeti" planet and had built a spaceport, I could load those "Menyeti" pre-sentient species on a colonyship.
They even managed to grab that arctic planet and some territory for me. IIRC it was while the colonisation was in progresss I finally had "Uplifting" researched and so I made the "Menyeti" into real "arctic"-lovers (I think they were one step away before).
Here is the bug: I could only uplift the "Menyeti" on the original planet. And now there are a few of the "old" "Menyeti" left in the world, prospering and reproducing, I can't uplift those, even if I try a second time (- they "can't be found" / are greyed out on the species / uplift-screen).
So now I have an uplifted version which behaves as it should, and an "Pre-sentient" version on 2 or 3 planets (I colonised more than one at the same time, which I didn't mention above), where I am not even allowed to harvest / use ressources in orbit - I can't build mines there. And I can't recolonise with my standard race (since the planet already counts as colonised - even if the pre-sentient Menyeti left the HQ / can't use buidlings), and I can't transfer POPs there, because I am "Fanatic Individualist".
What I can do is build a spaceport, and well I do get the territory counted / claimed for my empire.
It's as if I had sent a ship with rabbits to Australia, planted my flag and then left the rabbits there alone, and now they denie me to build a mine for ressources in orbit, and inaddition they can't use the buidlings I set up for them, it even forces them out of the good tiles where I build them... - the only thing it does, is claim the territory for my empire and I can add a spaceport with modules, which is still something.
