"it's behaving exactly like a vehicle entering an occupied system would behave."
In fiction. Your only examples are fiction. You're making shit up.

Ok...draw up a plan for entering an occupied solar system.
Run it through the Moloch if you are so inclined.
Of course I'm making shit up.
Run the numbers, there is a string of coincidences that all add up to 0.02% probability it's a natural phenomenon.
You remember your high school probability calculations?
Or did you, like most of us, sleep through it?
Conditional probability +
Probability attenuation +
Hierarchical Classification +
Conjunction effect.
Probability drops multiplicatively, Each additional constraint "attenuates" (weakens) the overall likelihood.
It may still be natural, it's very low probability. But it's non-zero.
