Bug description: When burning towards a non-accelerating enemy in combat view, the increase in closing velocity (as shown on the rangefinder, and calculated from the distance and time to intercept) is only ~half of the delta-V burned (as shown in the list of ships).
Example pictures:
How to reproduce: In a sandbox, set up a target that is either a station or a ship with minimal acceleration, and no weapons. Take a ship (preferably one with high acceleration) and get a minimum-velocity intercept. Set the ship to "homing" mode, and watch the delta-V display and the relative velocity display.

Example pictures:
With a capship:
~100 m/s of delta-V were burned, resulting in a ~50 m/s increase in closing velocity.
~100 m/s of delta-V were burned, resulting in a ~50 m/s increase in closing velocity.
With a missile:
~1 km/s of delta-V was burned, resulting in a ~500 m/s increase in closing velocity.
~1 km/s of delta-V was burned, resulting in a ~500 m/s increase in closing velocity.
