(sorry for the late response - officially I'm away from E@H for this week)
I can confirm that the team was in the DB on Feb 25 and is now gone from the DB.
We couldn't find other signs of a DB inconsistency, and apparently the same team vanished from other projects, too. So I don't have a reason to assume a DB problem.
It could be, though, that the original founder of the team accidentally or maliciously deleted the team, and that this behavior is supported by an actual bug or design flaw of the BOINC team management code.
If the same happened on SETI, I'd rather let people sort out things there first, the authors of the BOINC team management code are there. I'd happily follow advice from them, but ATM we can't find the time to further track down the possibly technical issues ourselves, not to speak about human behavior.
I'll keep an eye on this thread, though.
