Gas already flowing towards an output in a below-capacity pipe began to flow backwards towards the source pump when the output was removed. Have never seen this until the new conduit algorithms came out on the preview branch - previously the packets stood still in the pipe in that scenario. This might fall under the "feature not a bug" category, as the gameplay effects are likely minimal (and in my case actually beneficial, as it allowed me to clear a pipe with some unwanted gases).
In attached save, the stupid windy hydrogen line from the left of the starting base to the top left was the offending pipe. The gas was most of the way towards the drecko farm when I removed the bridge (currently a gap in the pipe) to get rid of some chlorine.
Build a gas pump, a long-ish ventilation pipe, and a ventilation bridge as an output for quick deconstruction. Let the pump operate for a few seconds, then disable it. The gas should still be flowing towards the bridge. Now remove the bridge. The gas for me flows backwards toward the pump and backs up there.
