The turn events indicates that the Xenos colony's population has dropped by two, but if I examine the population on the Xenox planet directly, it only drops by one.

OK, I will look to see if that is the difficulty scaler or the alert code malfunctioning.

I'm seeing this as well. In fact, I've been invading one planet with two different troop transports (just the boiler plate transports) and it seems to only register 1 population damage regardless of the message.
For example;
I invade with two transports and end turn.
Next turn I'll see two messages; "Xeno colony lost 1 population" and "Xeno colony lost 2 population."
The Xeno colony will have only lost 1 population.
Also, small nitpick, on the turn info screen that pops up, a result of your invasion is listed with a "warning" icon. Maybe we should have a different "victory" icon or "battle" icon?

Actually, the problem seems a little more complicated. As far as I can tell xeno colonies are currently growing by 1 population every turn, so if you are invading with 1 transport and it only does 1 population damage then you are actually netting 0 population damage. I've been able to get around that by using two troop transports, but it's slow progress.

They also have incredibly high defensive values, especially around 7 AE

Yeah and they don't like to be invaded AT ALL. I had to fall back after my Sun Killer was half way through because my ships guarding it ran low on water.
And because the Xenos sent wave after wave of ships that just draines my Cruisers from using torps.

Invasions were processed BEFORE population growth, causing a recovery point to be transferred by the xeno. this is fixed |

IDK if it's fixed in this new version or not, but if you have two ships invading at the same time, and you go below the 0 pop on the Xenos planet, the game crashes. I think it's the same as the time when we could invade various times in a turn, and going below crashed it.

The new version gives great Xeno invasion results, supports dead worlds, honors higher talents and the more devastating types of invasion weapons are more devastating .
