That was my first thought as well but I figure that while details of the accident were covered up publically for expediency purposes that doesn't mean they'd ignore potential evidence of enemy action as a cause.
Now *IF* the salvagers recognized it as an IJN sub and not some oddly shaped piece of pipe I would seriously doubt that it wouldn't have been mentioned somewhere in the official reports.
