The first time this happened, the map was blank when I looked at it while I was drawing a map of another area. When I came back into the area of the first map, it had come back. But after going even further away and drawing more maps, the three maps I made closer to the spawn point were blank when I got back! A few pixels reappeared on some of the maps, but for the most part they stayed blank (all the maps were on zoom level 3).
The same thing happened in another world I made. Before, I thought it was because I went too far (2 map areas at zoom level 3 away), but this time I was less than one map area away! I made a new map to replace the old one. After I did that, I found the other map I drew (the one that I drew after finishing the first one) was blank! I left the replacement map in a chest near the edge of the map's area. After I finished drawing the replacement map for the second map, I picked up the first map from the chest and found it blank!
That's when I knew there must be something wrong. It didn't matter where the map was (in my inventory, in my hotbar, or in a chest) or how far I went, so it must be drawing the other maps that somehow causes maps that were drawn earlier to turn blank.
(Both worlds were in Creative mode with completely drawn maps every time.)
Note: They don't turn back into the Empty Map item, they look like a regular (one that's been right-clicked) map that hasn't been drawn at all (save a few pixels in some cases).
