They are either waiting for getting their batter charged, or you don't have storage chests.
First can be resolved by putting down another RoboPort, second by putting down storage chests.

Could also be that there aren't enough bot spaces due to a lack of roboports. Each roboport can dock a max of what, 350 bots?

Add moar roboports. And the more you research bot speed, the more you need roboports to recharge your bots.

A bug is not impossible, just highly unlikely. Most of "my bots are stuck" cases are one of :
- Insufficient storage available when deconstructing within the current logistic network
- Insufficient roboports for recharging purpose (the quicker the bots, the more roboports needed to recharge them)
- Insufficient roboports for storage (if there are more than 350 robots per roboport, there won't be enough storage for the bots)

In all the screenshots provided in this thread, it looks like a classic case of not enough charging, which is not a bug.

In case it wasn't clear, my screenshot was just for fun and I am well aware of why they were piled up like that. I gave an order to pave a huge area in order to make all 25,000 construction busy at the same time.

Would have required a lot of ports to make them not have to queue up for charging!
