Without knowing the absolute details, I cannot say. It sounds like you were still too close to shore and the spawn initialization happened to be within that range of your boat. Again, saving within 50 miles of shore can be tricky for just this reason.
I usually encounter the opposite of ships disappearing. I was playing with a destroyer off Melekeok and it was banging around for me. After an hour or so, he turns to put in to port and
then disappears completely 8500 yards away. 
I had no save files involved with that and simply shrugged my shoulders and smoked every ship docked there laughing at the holes in the game's code.
As far as "magic ships" go, I normally see it in SH3 during the early war. There is almost
always a Black Swan frigate that magically pops into BF 17 if your time compression exceeds x64.
It always seems to make Bungo Pete and the HMS Walker look like amateurs in ASW, too.
