when you order any item deconstructer, the construction bot gang up and fairly effectively remove all item from the container (whether chest, assembly machines, smelter..) and store them in the relative storage area.

when you deconstruct a provider chest, instead, only one bot works in emptying it.

in the save, you can see 27 idle robot in the roboport south of the storage chests, while only two bot remove the items from the requester chest near the player

also apply to assembly machine 2

I wasn't able to reproduce it. Even when I created new requester chest in the save filled it with items and ordered to deconstruct, it worked properly.
Have you done anything special with chest?

ok, I tried and I tried, but I cannot reproduce it. except for the save provided. here is a video:

in the same map, if I build anything, it works just fine.

later in the video at 0:49, I load the problematic save and you can see that behaviour occurring in the two chests

if you can't reproduce you can put this in 1/0 magic, I will report it again if I can get it to reproduce
