I have no clue about the vanishing, but the frame-offset is due to the
 jack/ardour latency compensation.

I once experienced similar odd behavior: time-shifts by buffer-size when
bypassing Plugins during playback, but I could not reliably reproduce
the problem.

Did it start after changing the Plugin or bus-setup ?
