Boss loot disappears if you die as you kill the boss (or shortly after)

I doubt this is intended, hopefully not. I've had it happen twice now where I've died at the same time as the boss and the loot disappears.

This is probably an edge case of the boss-reset-on-death mechanic...

You're not supposed to be able to pass a boss if you die... Either he dies and you live, or you have to do again.

I personally think this grey area could go in favor of the player during campaign, and the loot could stay...

but keep in mind that in endgame atlas maps, if you die you can't get back into the map, so there would be no way for you to pick up the loot anyway

I killed one with ignite after I died, and the second one was Rathbreaker, I killed him but his dogs killed me afterwards. It does feel like a bit of a grey area, but I would say for the campaign the loot should stay as it does ultimately feel bad to lose the loot, especially if you struggled with the boss.
Happened to me as well, kind of a bummer after a tough fight.

We had this happen in co-op during the Consort fight. My partner died halfway through, and I finished the boss. Moments later, projectiles reflecting off the shield knight caused me to die. When we resurrected, the uncut gems and other loot disappeared, and the boss replayed the death animation to drop the quest items.

I guess the knight ran off with our loot, and left the consort for dead to make sure we could finish the quest. What a swell guy. :p
Its not just bosses, everything on ground disappears when you die and respawn at checkpoint
