Hi, I know this post is 10 years old but I ran into the same problem a couple minutes ago and I figured out why it happens.
The problem occurs when you push Cole into the next approval state by giving him the amulet. As soon as you give him the amulet, he gains approval. If this pushes him into the next state, he will instantly despawn for the courtyard cutscene. The way I solved this is by taking him into my party and helping some people in the Hinterlands by doing quests but there are other ways and regions that boost his approval fast.
Another thing I found in forums (I can not confirm this myself) is that if your approval is already super high to the point where he already loves you, this can also cause problems. If you never really talked to Cole to trigger any cutscenes other than the one for the amulet, you may have to find a way to lower his approval back down.
If you reach the next or previous approval stage this way, you can do the courtyard cutscene. Afterwards you can give him the amulet. I hope this helps the people who play this game still.
