Hmm... my reference to the disappearing Deimos is the fact that in one window it's not there and in another (close by) it is. It is the result of a simple mistake of not creating a view for it.
The one I think you are describing is the one in the room with the 3X recharger. In part of the window Deimos is partially obscured. It's the result of a problem with a polygon. Fixing it wouldn't be... 'canon'. ;)
So this is not "a feature of Marathon in general". Just poor attention to detail.
