It does?  Here, I see that it leaves at least 2 indications that the
compilation is complete:

  . I see "Compilation finished at <DATE> <TIME>" in the buffer
  . I see "Compilation:exit" on the mode line (all of them)

And if the compilation fails, those indication has a distinct color
that stands out.  That hardly counts as "disappearance".
