Construction robots that finished repairing may drop into deconstructed roboport, leading to it never being deconstructed (because it requests more robots to take out new drones and repair packs)

Thanks for the report. Please attach a save file when reporting issues like this.

Here is the stable reproduction

Chest requests 1 coin per second, logibot drops into deconstructed roboport, roboport requests more construction bots to deconstruct, forever

Thanks, I finally understand the issue. Fixed for 2.0.24.

Unfortunately, this is still something of an issue as of 2.0.25, just under different circumstances.

A roboport that is marked for deconstruction will not disable its robot requests, and so if the construction bots can't remove the contents fast enough, it's entirely possible for them to get stuck in an infinite loop of robots continually refilling the port, and never successfully deconstructing it.

A save file has been included to demonstrate this.
