Potential issue with ship momentum calculations

When moving at high speeds towards a direction, if I let the ship slow down using its inertia dampeners while rotating the ship (no input from keyboard), the ship seems to gain speed sideways.


One way to easily replicate this is to fly away straight from starter asteroid in ship with powerful thrusters in one direction but weak in other directions. Then when max spead reached release throttle and turn the ship towards the asteroid. This at least for me gives the ship sideways momentum.
