Wasn't sure if this was a bug because after several hours the destroyer left. But I could see that it was still following me, just keeping 7 kilometers distance. I saved the game and loaded it again to get rid of the bug, but it didn't go away!

The destroyer changed course and was now 12 kilometers from me. I continued my course back to base, and the destroyer was escorting me back to Germany! I could see it in the distance, not following behind but cruising right in front of me! So days passed and I finally started to approach coast. I sent a contact report from the destroyer, and soon the planes came. But the destroyer shot them down and suddenly "awoke" and was charging towards me. After few hours of depth charging, the destroyer finally gave up and left back to England....

Second case was today when a whole task force of destroyers started to follow me, keeping 20 kilometers distance. Saving and loading fixed this issue.

Maybe it was just bad luck, but it seemed that this behaviour is more common now, could some mod increase the possibility? It was a interesting find to see that the destroyer could "wake up" from the following mode, when planes attacked it, could this mechanic be used somehow to fix this issue? Like the General said, it is a big immersion killer.

I agree, this is a huge problem, because you can never know if a destroyer is bugged or not. I hope TDW will soon focus on this and help us out. I'm sure he can do it, he proved he can crack tougher nuts than this one!
