If you were in an Anarchy system, then it's unlikely they were showing as wanted. In Anarchy systems you need to use a kill Warrant Scanner.
As to the damage from submitting, sometimes things go sideways and you actually lost the fight in super quick time. I've seen this an odd time or two.
Anyone else getting this lately? I was had an interdiction (NPC) so as normal I submit to fight. Suddenly I have hull damage and sitting at 92% hull with full shields? After killing the would be pirate again I'm awarded no bounty. I was not in an anarchy system and I know I had the killing blow. What gives? Also yes, the ship was showing wanted.

What ship was you flying? I submit every time I get an npc interdiction (I play in closed) for the bounty in my cobra III and have never taken any hull damage from it. Is it just a problem with the larger ships? does it only happen in open play?
This time the damage brought me to 92%. On a T-7 that was 930 credits to fix so that's really not the main issue.
