How do you transfer population between planets/colonies?

In the previous games, loading up a colony ship (or troop transport) with population and sending it to the other planet would do the trick, but it doesn't seem to work in GalCiv 3 yet.

I've sent a fully loaded colony ship to one of my colonies, but it didn't increase the local population. When it tried to "eject" the ship, afterwards, the game was acting as if the ship was empty. So, in effect, I just lost 2.5b people.

At Terran Civil Command we take the concerns of our outer rim citizens seriously. We have noted the issue you are seeing. We believe that there is an issue where the "eject ship" command was incorrectly linked to "eject cargo" protocol. This resulted in your cargo being jettisoned into space. We hope to have this issue resolved soon.

Oh my! The colonists have been ejected into space like cargo! No wonder the population didn't increase.
