I noticed this sometimes in the stock game.
Did you hit crash dive then order silent running, before reaching the crash dive depth? I have noticed that in any boat, if you change the depth manually before reaching desired depth, that the boat will slowly sink.

No, I never crash dived at all. There was never any need to since the escorts were well behind me when I was escaping. It wasn't until I started ramping up the speed to raise my depth that they even got close to me. Even after they found me, they weren't really that close; they were depth charging behind me. I'm pretty confident that if I could have stopped sinking I could have gotten away to thumb my nose at them from a safe distance.

A known issue, dunno if the GWX guys will be working on it.

Not an issue... your boat's buoyancy changes depending on the depth you're currently in, AFAIK, not modelled in stock but modelled by the GWX team.
IRL it was necessary to keep a certain speed to mantain your boat at a specific depth, I don't know if the GWX went to far modelling that or if it is actually accurate. Problem is, that if modelling that feature, maybe you should be also able to set your dive planes to a specific degree, since it might be quite annoying to have to order "surface" just to order "current depth" a couple of seconds apart. All and all, I think this is what's happening to you, of course a GWX team member will be able to confirm or deny this. Hope it helps!

Why were you going that slow to begin with? 2 knots is a good for a type VII or IX when you need to be silent but for a XXI you can double that speed.

As it has been said, with a XXI boat you can really go a lot faster while still being unheard.
