Aha: minor detail, but who knows, maybe it's helpful somehow: I just
had this happen to a bunch of terms:
Brought up several, then without thinking, switched desktops,
immediately realized what I'd done and switched back. All but two
were missing. I checked the open apps list and found them all still
listed;
Went back to the desktop I'd swiveled to by mistake a moment ago, and
selected one of the missing windows to see what would happen. I was
moved back to the desktop I'd used at first, but no terms were
showing.
So, yeah, I think it's pretty certain that the terms are still
running, they're just being recorded in a way that doesn't always keep
track of their correct location on the desktop.
...Unless they're minimized, like I said; then they come back fine
when restored.
Oh, I am pretty sure the missing windows are still active and running.
If, when this happens, I active expose (or whatever its called these
days) then I see in the 'tiled display' of all windows the missing ones.
If I then try and select one of them, or any window in fact, the window
then disappears back again to where ever it has gone to, that I cannot
see. So yes, its still running just somehow unreachable...

I think my next mission is to bring up all those instances again,
minimize them all, repeat the dance I did by mistake earlier, and see
what that does.

True, but not really really related to the issue.

Yep. If this were happening when my machine went to sleep, or lots
its network connection or whatever, I wouldn't call it a problem. As
it is though this strikes me as a definite bug. (Or something I should
be doing differently, or something.)
Just to collaborate what others have said, my laptop's OS does usually
keep pace with whatever is current with what Apple provides. So it is
running El Capitan, version 10.11.5. XQuartz is version 2.7.9,
xorg-server-1.17.4. I can't say for certain that this started with
the upgrade to El Capitan but I wouldn't be surprised either.
