At the start of the turn, my ship was 14 ly away from an enemy ship. I
set my ship to intercept, with speed 110 vs the enemy ship's speed of
90. Host runs. Not only did I not caught the enemy ship, now it is 20
ly away from my ship. No minehits in between, or anything that I could
think of which would explain such a weird thing. Ideas anyone?

It looks like bad luck with your initial scan pulses. The intercept
command moved it to the enemy's last known position and there ist
stayed until it got a fresh scan of the enemy ship. All the while
movement phases were ticking away, the enemy ship increased its
distance from your position until your ship re-started the
interception with a fresh scan.

Shouldn't the log show a 'target lost' message in this case? Even if
target is reaquired later?

Target lost is only when the target is destroyed. As Phaidros eluded
to, all scan data is lost at the beginning of the turn and needs to be
regained. The last known coordinates of your target are kept and you
will move there then wait for new acquisition of the target.
