Click on the chest and your guy will run there and open it even though he can't see it.

Just adding this to this thread for a consolidated listing.

You don't have to be in a building at all. This "glitch" happened a lot for me mostly with opened chests (open them in your inventory, then put them on the ground), I can see the chest as black when my character is some steps away from the place, but still outside, no need to enter any buildings whatsoever. I managed to also retrieve the chests, but it's far harder, than it should be, not sure, how I made it, just kept clicking on the chest (when it's black) and running to/from it, back and forth at a certain point the game allows you to pick the chest up.
