These chests are full unopened no one been close to them chests that go *poof* as soon as you get close. Its not a LOD issue showing a chest where one isnt, or showing a full chest to walk up and its opened, because the chest disappears as if it was never there when its just a small distance from your character model. It seems to happen most often directly after you land. I tested to see if i was crazy or not by landing in a deserted area with no other players a few times.

Its like a mirage, you see a tempting puddle of delicious cold water but when you get close all you see is the bitter disappointment of more sand... Or in most of these cases ive seen, the uncaring floorboards of the house you are looting.
