They don't add stations themselves as waypoints, and they don't spontaneously reverse direction. However, you can add the station to the train schedule yourself with no leaving conditions, ...

[Klonan] [2.0.11] New cutscenes don't use previous waypoint zoom value

In Factorio 1.1 when overwriting the cutscene controller with new waypoints, if the first waypoint had `zoom = nil` then the zoom value from the previous waypoint would be used. In 2.0.11 this behavior has changed, so if the first waypoint has no zoom the ...

Re: [1.1.107] Biter group stuck after pathing near water

I can reproduce the same error message by waiting for the code to run (including choosing waypoints), and then use /editor to add a bunch of water on/near the waypoint.

Here is a save that will reproduce the issue (game.print is called with the coordinates of the stuck unit group when it happens).
