You're right, a number of U-boats did leave Austro-Hungarian bases and headed for Germany via Gibraltar during the last days of the war. According to "Mediterranean Submarines" by Michael Wilson and Paul Kemp, between 29 and 31 October 1918 thirteen U-boats left the Adriatic for Germany: U 35, U 38, U 63, UB 49, UB 50, UB 51, UB 105, UB 128, UC 20, UC 22, UC 27, UC 52 and UC 67.
I don't know how the crews of the scuttled boats reached Germany. Couldn't they travel through Austria-HUngary without coming anywhere near the Italian Front? The war was about to end for Germany as well; maybe they travelled after the Armistice?
