I had this same problem. At first I thought it was intentional (perhaps shadowing me while radioing for more dudes to come kill me), but they just follow you for too long and seem far too psychic. And reinforcements never bother coming.

The solution I eventually came to - surface the ship and fire a dozen or so rounds at range until he starts to approach you. Then dive and perform your usual escape tactics. The logjam in the AI will break and he will get bored and leave.
