Yes I have seen this happen before, a couple of times. From what I understand the convoy takes its "Icon" from the lead ship in the convoy, so if it is an enemy merchant ship, it will be a red square, and if you see a Big blue circle like you describe, it doe sindeed mean that there is a AI U-boat ahead of the convoy, the game then interprets the U-boat as being part of the convoy.
