I just played a game with a relatively high latency, and during the course of the game I held back spawning a few times, which somehow caused 2 out of my 20 peons to completely disappear. They still used up food, but they were not spawned on the map or did not respond to any commands. (They were not even selectable with my select all units keybind)
I don't usually hold the spawn, so I don't know if the issue was caused by high latency, so I included that just in case it makes a difference.
