I think this should be the requirement, since otherwise this would mean effectively abandoning the planet, which you're not allowed to do.
In the current implementation, (r18451) the specific rule is colonist race pop >=1, total planet pop >=2. So, in a case where you have 1.1 teros and 2.0 scavengers, the teros would autoload, leaving you with 0.1 teros and 2.0 scavengers on the planet.
It's worth noting that the autoload colonist rules are exempted from the normal "round down" rules, so you will be left with a small fractional teros population in this case. I'm not certain that's actually a great outcome though. Increasing the autoload requirement to colonist race >= 2 is perhaps reasonable. I'll stick that change into the next patch.
edited by sven: As of r18453 colony ship auto-loading now requires that the colonist race pop be at least 2. However, colony base initialization is still using the older, somewhat more complex and nuanced rules. I think that's ok.
