Thanks, I've passed this along.
I noticed same thing today, deleted a toon from Defiant and seems i lost 1 recently created toon on Union. Logged back several times, no luck. And also have 14 toonslots on Defiant and only 12 in Union, 1 Union slot is Unavailable. Just checked Zukunft and Vigilance also, Zukunft has 12 and Vigilance 11 slots.
2nd edit 
it seems the missing toon is back now. It appeared at last slot, in 36 i think. 
had this happen a few times, but the character was never removed from the character select list, it was just moved to the 2nd or 3 pages of slots.
Well I have this repeatedly happening on 2 toons, both the most recently created ones on Union. The slot(s) show as "Unavailable", I've checked all three pages, the toons aren't there but they're still in the SG so they haven't been deleted. Logging in and out sometimes brings one or other back, then again that sometimes triggers a crash logging in to the server, but that's a whole other thread!
This is really annoying me now since I was going to level one of them up over the DoubleXP weekend. Naturally, I expect that Support will make the toon a level 50 once they've fixed the issue, by way of making amends. Right? Ah come on!
Edit - Actually, while I'm moaning about this, I've noticed that I only have 17 extra slots showing (including the 2 that flicker in and out of existance) but that only covers my initial 2 bonus slots, plus the 3 goes of 5 extra slots that I've purchased. Given that I've been playing for just under 2 years, doesn't that mean I'm missing a slot? And that I have more money and alts than sense?
Edit 2 - no wait, I have an amazing disappearing toon on Defiant too - in the same postion as the one on Union, funnily enough (5th from top on 2nd page). Having logged out and in a few times, I've noticed that if the one on Defiant is visible and I go from defiant to union, the on on union is unavailable, and vice versa. Logging out and then back in to the same server without going to the other server in between brings back the toon on that server but causes it the corresponding one on the other server to disappear. If you follow me
I constantly get a reshuffle, its harder to spot anything missing should anything go missing. Its something I wouldn't want to have to thoroughly check everytime.
He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.
Hmmmm - it could be a reshuffle, the toons could be getting shuffled off the visible 36 slots into slots that technically don't exist but are maybe waiting in the wings for when the two servers merge? Conspiracy!
I deleted an unloved toon on Defiant last night (in a bought extra char slot), replaced it with a spanking new toon that will be similarly neglected, completed the tutorial and logged off to go on to Union.
In the Union character list, the character in the corresponding slot to the one I'd deleted was no longer there, the slot was locked and I did not have a corresponding free slot to assign. While it was a relatively new alt that I wasn't too attached to, it was still enough to put my undies on brown alert.
I logged in as another toon in the same SG as the abductee, I could see the missing toon's name in the member list. I logged back out and in again and lo and behold - they'd been returned, unharmed, and were available for use again.
Just letting you know as it may cause an embolism if it happens to someone's main.
