Have you checked the log?  It's quite likely that they had already been
processed, their results uploaded, and your system was waiting to tell
the scheduler, after which they would be deleted.

  results will never be returned. Is this a problem? Is there also a way

Too late now.  You've prevented the upload of those results being
registered with the scheduler.

Anyone know of a solution for the above?

I do hope this doesn't happen more often, because it's quite a hassle. :(

Yes.  Don't interfere, but let "Deferring communication with project for
..." run its course.  :-)

But also make sure you're running boinc with the
"-return_results_immediately" flag if you're not already doing so, and
make sure your cache size is set large enough (mine is set to 4 days).
