The first (and only) time I ever encountered a Chasm Conch was on a character completely unequipped to handle it. My fighter was on the same account, so as he made his way to where the Conch was, I made sure to log back into the miner briefly every few minutes to force the tile to stay loaded. Except suddenly the miner logged in and the Conch was gone, along with all the cave lice and the stalagooms that had previously been there. It's more commonly seen when you're trying to early cheese a bat walking into and out of a cave exit, only for the bat to suddenly despawn. My speculation was it's more of an intentional mechanic where if the server's under a heavy enough load it will delete inactive tiles ahead of time, but if you immediately ask it to pull them back, it'll skip spawning new temporary objects.
