I've played AC am embarrassingly long time now and I've never seen any evidence that an AI has taken another AI's surrender - it seems that the AI goes for extermination instead. If this were true it is yet another of the many significant advantages a human player has over the AI. It also should be considered for a fix in some far off SMAC II, or in CIV III if it includes a diplomacy algorithm like that of SMAC.
Has anyone noticed any evidence that an AI was submissive/slave to another AI?

Not yet. I find it hilarious that when (for instance) Morgan is getting pummeled by Deirdre, he will decide it's time to pronounce vendetta on me (also at war with Gaians) -- then surrender to me a couple of turns later without our units ever having engaged. I've had it happen twice in my current game: the above situation with Morgie down to only one base, and the Univ -- already restarted once by Dawn he reappears, pronounces vendetta on me, and surrenders 10 years later after a trolling pre-boil mindworm knocks off a scout patrol outside a base full of defenders. Sadly, I am the aliens and can't use the commerce income from either pet.
In both situations, my opponents would have been stronger to have sought surrender from other factions (Dawn took out Zak and Domai way on the other side of the world before I'd even met them, and Deirdre really could've used Morgan's money to probe my invaders).
I'm with you on this one: despite the laughs, I hope they fix it someday.
