Yep, I specifically made sure that one of the ships had Target Lock before calling in TIE Advanced x1 in the battle then attacked other ships and waited for Target Lock to expire on the ship which had it before reinforcement was called in. When that Target Lock expired it got renewed (you can notice it by the red text "Target Lock" appearing). Again I didn't attack that ship meanwhile.

If your opponent has a Ghost with a Target Lock on it, and he summons Phantom, then you summon TIE Advance, then it might explain the scenario you are describing.

When the Target Lock expires on Ghost, TIE Advance should reapply it. However, with Phantom on the board, Ghost becomes immune to Target Lock, so it would not actually reapply. (assuming Phantom's unique "Distraction Tactics" is at level 8).
