That is unexpected.

Sure. Can you send us a crm_report that starts just before you set maintenance-mode=false and ends after the VIP was lost?
(No need to reproduce, just run give it the times from when you already had it happen.)

It sounds like you're used to crmsh, there is a conversion document available at:
