This seems to be a very good reason to avoid ever putting anything but fighter or scout planes in tiny slots like 3-6 ones. I was using a divebomber crew in Souryuu's last slot and it definitely lost rank even though I don't think it was completely wiped out. If I had to hazard a guess, rank loss is related to the proportion of planes lost compared to the slot size since a tiny slot loses a huge portion of its airwing from losing even 1 plane. Even with AS+ you usually lose a couple planes from every attack plane slot, whereas fighter groups don't usually lose anyone with AS+ and scout planes aren't shot down. Definitely something to be wary of.
