It doesn't really need a solution. Vader says to bring his shuttle, then we see him on his flagship. Anyone with half a brain can figure out that he flew to Executor in his shuttle.

If this kind of stuff really needs to be explained to the audience, then maybe Adywan had better add Ric Olie into the film...

well, yea it is common sense, but the audience has to be treated like they're brain dead. i think it just makes a clearer transition is all.

See, this is just the sort of thing that pisses me off when it comes to the prequels, and altogether too many other movies these days as well. Pandering to the lowest common denominator is never a good idea. It was that kind of idiocy that got us fart and poop jokes in TPM, as well as waaaaay too much exposition throughout the PT.

Bottom line: if someone is too bloody stupid to figure out that Vader must have taken a shuttle to his flagship after requesting that his shuttle be brought to him on Cloud City, then perhaps that individual should try watching Barnie tapes instead of plot-driven, feature-length movies. Intentionally treating your audience as though they're braindead (which you seem to support as a "clearer" movie-making technique) will only ensure that your movie sucks, and everybody hates it.
