Okay, for an experiment I put some files on an external drive. When I unplug the external drive, the files don't disappear from the library, so you were right. However, for the network location they disappear, at least with UNC.
So it sounds like it is a bug, because the expected behaviour is that if the root location is unavailable it doesn't remove the files from the library. I'll try reopening the ticket and see what happens.
You can do the experiment too. Add a network folder to the file monitor, turn on 'remove unavailable items', switch off networking, see what happens
