Resolution Note:
The reason this is happening is that the Resources API and the Asset Bundle API are two different systems and weren't meant to work together. What's happening is that they're unloading just the single asset that's connected to the asset loaded from the asset bundle. Thanks to preload tree optimizations that we can't change, when accessing the gameobject that's loaded from the asset bundle it only looks at the main asset (the gameobject) to see if it's loaded. They'll have to use Resources.UnloadAllUnusedAssets or whatever that API is because it will unload that main asset from the bundle. When they then reload the asset it'll use the preload tree to load all the dependencies.
