I've never heard of it with a French ship invisible before, but see it every day with Spanish ships invisible on screen (rotating camera view with mouse-button two, right?) and invisible on-compass.
It is not a bug - it is a cheater's glitch. I've only seen the same cheaters using it, that is. You can hit those ships with broadsides as much as you like; they take no damage and the health meter never appears (even though it is supposed to, as soon as they first attack you) unless you find their ship's name sailing along over where their ship SHOULD be, then hit them with ramming speed. Hitting them with ramming speed makes them visible almost half the time. Once you do that, you can start grape-shot to stun them, stun them, stun them, stun them, kill them. Once their captain is dead their infinite repair and invulnerability USUALLY stops. At that point, you can begin to have a "normal" sea battle with them.
Ain't it nice that Disney encourages the cheaters by never fixing glitches?
Addendum:
That's Disney-style family values for ya. Censored this very message, that had an innocuous bowdlerization. Maybe young kids know how to read asterisks? Nice family values, indeed. Encourage cheating, reward cheating, teach cheating - why, you'd think they as a company would have and actual philosophical stance in the issue. And evidently they do - they just demonstrated that stance again.
