At this point, I was ready to surface anyway and finish off the tramp steamer so I didn't hang around to experiment.
I haven't upgraded to 1.02 yet as I'm still out on patrol.
Anyone else have this happen?

I've had this too yesterday, same boat, same version of GWX (23rd Dec; I too wait to finish the patrol so I can install the new patch). I set to dive to 100 or 110 meters, but the sub came down to 90+ meters and wouldn't go further down but also started ascending to 80 something although I gave the order to dive to 110 meters several times. I did had minor damage from a depth charge which I thought at first was causing this, but there was no flooding or any significant damage so I don't know what was happening. Was at 2 kts at the time, of course.
Fortunatelly, managed to evade the destroyer and a frigate on this depth after some time, surfaced and finished off the merchant I damaged when it got too far behind of the rest of the convoy. The escort was some 8 kms away but still managed to fire at me while I was illuminated by the merchant. After the lights were destroyed as well as the ship, I managed to slip away in the dark again without being spotted by the speeding destroyer.
