That is just a really poor design crutch in general, there are far more effective ways of building tension and unleashing surprise on the player. I don't consider this any different than the Floaters' "take-off" ability, which they can do anywhere. At least with the reinforcements on escort missions you can almost always predict where they'll show up and set-up accordingly, prior to their arrival. I know I haven't lost anyone on the escorts from the reinforcements, and that's on Classic.
