Ok, here is the save for Dragon Quest IV near Mintos, with the balloon. Just get in the balloon and go south.
I've also included a save for Dragon Quest V. This game has the same problem. This save has the party in the ship.
I also noticed that once you have get the balloon, if you go south, the map doesn't disappear, the balloon does. If you want the savestate for that, I can give it to you.
I managed to get a little farther in the game and now I have the ship. Now you can move around freely in the ocean and test the map from more coordinates. Again, just go south.
I believe it has to do with the overworld position of the characters. I just figured this out a moment ago. It happens in Chapter 4 and 5. The reason why I know it also happens in Chapter 5 is because I played Chapter 4 in another emulator and then transfered the SRAM file back to DeSmuME.
All you have to do is travel south and the bottom window goes black. This should help you debug, perhaps.
I also have that same problem in Chapter 4. After I complete a battle, the bottom map screen doesn't come back either.
