Unsubscribing a topic consumer means that the broker should discard all messages for that consumer, and not retain any future messages for it. If the consumer later subscribes again, that is a new subscription that starts at that time, so only messages sent after that point will be delivered to the consumer. Messages are not being lost; rather, your consumer is saying that it doesn't want them.
The behavior you describe sounds like expected behavior in all three cases you described (hard kill, graceful shutdown with unsubscription, and graceful shutdown without unsubscription).
