My guess based on the second replay: When the flag the geologists were sent to is destroyed, they become "lost" (similar to the case when a building is burned down), i.e. they walk around randomly. Some of them manage to get back to a flag and walk to the headquarters, but one is unlucky and walks into the wrong direction. After a certain time when he has not found a flag, he disappears. (You can watch the same effect when destroying an enemy's warehouse: Workers that reach a flag (connected to another warehouse) behave normally, the others disappear.)
I have not watched the first savegame, but did you destroy there a flag, too?
