Hey this came up again for me yesterday...
I had cleared a large supply UFO's 1st and 3rd floors, as well as the exterior. Bughunt mode turned on w/ only one left, but I declined to check the map. As I was about to breach floor 2, alien had flanked behind out the supply doors, then back in the front door, and got one of my remaining 3 (i had 3 hwp and 6 soldiers at start, but our door approach went poorly due to blaster bombs). Because I knew there were 1-2 left from the msg, my 2 rushed forward to kill the last and mission ended.
Anyway, had I checked map, I probably wouldn't have lost that guy at end.. on the other hand, had their been no message, in my mind there was anywhere from 1-4 left, and I might not have rushed forward for the end kill (both survivors were wounded). If bughunt could be tuned to stay 'off' in these situations, I'd be happy to leave it on elsewhere
