When the factory is low on power, inserters are behaving very strangely. In this clip, the inserter is struggling to rotate back to pickup position in a way that is not expected. The pickup location has a belt that is filled sparsely with coal due to power being low. While the inserter is rotating from the dropoff position to the pick up position, it seems to stop and extend/retract based on the location of a piece of coal that could be picked up if the rotation had been completed. This causes it to stop rotating.
Very strange issue. Didn't really have any impact, but strange none the less! Might be a non-issue but submitting it as a bug to let Wube decide.
This occurred during a live stream so I was able to get a clip of it: https://clips.twitch.tv/BoxyBenevolentA ... 4BLKcPzgde - I can try to produce a save if need be.

It would be most helpful, a save, or a small reproducible set up (BP string also works)
