I did experiment:

– fresh install, latest versions of components – WP 4.7.5, Woocommerce 3.0.7 and ACF 5.5.14;
– extremely minimal theme, with empty index.php, empty style.css, and function.php file with content for creating custom product type:

// initial actions
function custom_init() {

	// add custom product type term
	add_custom_product_type_term();

	// custom product type class
	class WC_Product_Test extends WC_Product {
		public function __construct($product) {
			$this->product_type = 'test';
			parent::__construct($product);
		}
	}
}
add_action('init', 'custom_init');

// add custom product type to product type selector
function custom_product_type_selector ($types) {

	$types['test'] = 'Test';
	return $types;
}
add_filter('product_type_selector', 'custom_product_type_selector');

// add custom product type term
function add_custom_product_type_term() {

	$product_types_existing = get_terms(array(
		 'taxonomy'   => 'product_type'
		,'hide_empty' => false
	));

	$exists = false;

	foreach ($product_types_existing as $pte)
		if ($pte->slug == 'test')
			$exists = true;

	if (!$exists)
		wp_insert_term('test', 'product_type');
}

– two product categories (‘Category 1’ and ‘Category 2’) and two tags (‘Tag 1’ and ‘Tag 2’);
– field group created, for post type ‘product’ with product_type ‘test’;
– field group created, for post type ‘product’ with tag ‘Tag 1’;

I run same actions:

1. Creating / editing product: on product type ‘Test’ select / deselect, corresponding acf group doesn’t appears / disappears.
No PHP errors logged. Console shows nothing.

2. Creating / editing product: on adding / removing tag ‘Tag1’, corresponding acf group doesn’t appears / disappears.
No PHP errors logged. Console shows nothing.

3. Editing product with type ‘test’, acf group is visible. Selecting / deselecting product categories causes acf group disappearing.

Initial state – both categories are selected.

After one category deselected, ajax fires with form data:

post_id:668
post_taxonomy[]:
post_taxonomy[]:15
action:acf/post/get_field_groups
exists[]:group_593352f539930
exists[]:group_58a595ba1534b
nonce:55b5acd041

Response:
{"success":true,"data":[]}

After one category selected, ajax fires with form data:

post_id:668
post_taxonomy[]:
post_taxonomy[]:15
post_taxonomy[]:16
action:acf/post/get_field_groups
nonce:55b5acd041

Response:
{"success":true,"data":[]}

After other category deselected, ajax fires with form data:

post_id:668
post_taxonomy[]:
post_taxonomy[]:16
action:acf/post/get_field_groups
nonce:55b5acd041

Response:
{"success":true,"data":[]}

Disappearing of acf groups, when adding / removing product image, or adding / removing tag – such behavior is not observed yet.

So for the moment the biggest issue still exists, and it seems, that ajax call with action ‘acf/post/get_field_groups’ causes the problem. Am I right?
