I would have to look at the AI debug overlay to accurately understand what's going on, but the fact they detect your torpedo does not necessarily mean they have contact on you, especially since they likely would not pick up the 5db transient. It seems to me the AI has no way of knowing if it detected torpedoes that was just fired, or torpedoes that were fired 5 minutes ago. It's a different scenario from where you launch a missile and create a datum because the missile cannot be run out to a location then launched, but torpedoes are fairly covert in comparison which is why they're not raining Silexes down your position.
