Something bad happens on that frame, some sort of wipe or a big jump in the camera motion. In the lifetimes panel, you'll probably see the number of trackers dwindle down near zero about then.

Depending on the situation, you may be able to use some supervised trackers to bridge that area, either before or after autotrack. Or maybe tell it to skip a few frames with an explosion, say.
