I have noticed this alot. From what I could tell, he disappears if he cannot see you or your pawns. For example if he is flying and you hide behind a rock, then he may vanish. If he is flying and you are behind a tree, he may vanish.

What is even more noticable is that if you are standing behind a rock and so are your pawns, then it will almost always cause him to immediately take flight, presumably to get over the rock, but instead he vanishes.

This has been the pattern for me. So now when I fight him, I make sure my pawns are on him when I am behind rocks chanting spells. As long as he is occupied, he does not seem to disappear.

And it is not that he flew to a different area either. The one time I watched him, he flew up, but kept flying straight up and up, then just disappeared. His health bar was still on screen and the ambush quest that begins when you engage him did not fail, but he just poofs.
