When a VM is removed from an Host Group / Work Group, its CEC UUID in the LPAR RCP is set to blank. However, the name of the LPAR remains in CEC RCP VM list. Then, if a VM is deleted from the HMCs (or moved to host outside of ksys control), a discover/verify will examine the CEC RCPs VM list, notice this change, and delete the LPAR RCP. However, there also exists a "rediscovery" functionality, in which the CEC RCP replaces its VM list wholesale with discovered VMs. The problem arises due to a timing window where if the "rediscovery" is performed before the subsequent discover/verify, then the VMs will no longer exist in a CEC RCP VM list, essentially becoming "orphaned".
