I have also had the indexes that I merged disappear when I was merging indexes. It seems to happen nearly 100% of the time, when merging more than 2 indexes. I just thought it was the normal behavior. However, when I merge only 2 indexes, they usually don't get deleted. I don't have any code that deletes the indexes on mergeing. Maybe I should look closer at some code if this isn't supposed to be happening?

Are you sure your application is not deleting them?
