Are you using systemd?  It has a mechanism to consolidate core dumps
to a system directory with a tool to view/debug them and retention
policies.  I think that all is enabled by default, but it has been a
while since I touched it.  If it is enabled then that might explain
why dumps aren't where you expect them.
