If you launch from a station and don't turn on your speed governor (ie have speed 0), select a target and press the ASAP key (in my case it's bound to CTRL-A) you begin accelerating even though you have not set any speed to start with
Not sure if you would term this a bug, but its just a bit odd to begin speeding off with your speed governor set to zero!

the speed governor is supposed to be "desired speed when you arrive"
this way if you set the governor to 0...leave the console and return--you won't have crashed into your target or flown off

But the other component of the "A" key (ASAP, autopilot) is accelerating you to the full speed.
You're right though... the best way is for ASAP to set the set_speed of the ship's computer to correspond to its target speed so that the correct number displays there.
Hellcat's response makes sense. Yeah it's best to leave it the way it is then.
