May be it's no a bug but worth a look. Would a save file help (v2-19-2022)?

Map36? Is it any enemy or just one specific enemy?

Can't say for sure. I noticed in handful of rare cases enemies only spawned when backtracking, for no apparent reason. Excluding picking up keys or activating switch triggers. Simply going through an uneventful corridor one way then backtracking through it spawned new enemies. Possibly due to an unknown (to me) trigger. I assumed it was the case in this map so I preformed multitude of tests in attempt to activate all hidden triggers but level is so complex and has most enemies of them all so I likely missed one. I can for sure confirm there wasn't alive one hiding somewhere unless it's out of map bounds, even though I checked there too. Even contemplated viewing the map in editor to check if there wasn't a misplaced spawn point somewhere but my laziness overpowered my ocd. It could also be I broke scripting due to excessive amounts of qsave/qload. If that's indeed the case then I must commend GZ coders because it's only 1 in a million occurrence.
I'd give it a short check in map editor and forget about if I can't see anything, or until another similar report comes up.

Gargoyle compromise sounds fair.

Yeah I meant Ghost fade away. When they reappear is should be in player's FOV. Or give them some kind of distinct audio cue when reappearing. On Ultra they're too RNG to fight against, or alternatively too tedious if cautions approach is taken for a distance (not always possible). Goal is to stop random but common insta-deaths from behind.
