Is this 'normal' or a bug/glitch?

Just bought Arma 3 game cpl. days ago, so I don't know what is 'normal'/working-as-intended for this game...

Installed the Antistasi Community Edition mod (Antistasi - The Mod);

After placing the HQ the first mission I took was to deliver supplies to nearby town...bought vehicle and loaded the supplies and 5 recruited team-members in the vehicle and drove to the target spot in the town;

Prior to parking i drove up/down a cpl. street to see if there were any enemies, and looked at map (M-key) -- the map showed 3 contacts approx. 300m out of town (in trees downhill from town);

Parked at the target icon and disembarked squad/team -- none of my AI guys said anything about 'contacts', etc. -- they just spread out around vehicle with weapons at the ready;

I unloaded cargo and instantly had 6-7 contacts spawn around us in the street and I was dead without firing a shot in return, and the AI team-members were all down a few seconds later.

If the enemies which attacked me were hiding in nearby building would they have shown on the map after I drove around cpl. streets? Is this just a random weird behavior of an 'old game'? I'm verifying game files as I post this, and will try again later.

EDIT: I'm playing 'single-player' on LAN server...if that makes any difference.

Glitch is possible. I think in Cold War DLC there is a glitch where enemy soldiers randomly spawn after killing them while you're still standing in the same place.
On the map you will only see enemies marked if they were spotted by you or your teammates. Camo and cover works in this game and often it will not show them on the map. You should not rely on what's on the map this is not that kind of game. Chances are you just didn't see the enemy.
