Gonna bump this one because I'm having the same problem and can't seem to find an answer. Maybe my search-fu is off.
My rescue escort hits any color crystal field and stops. Doesn't run, won't cross it, just stands there in an alert pose. Needless to say, quite the problem for mission completion--particularly since the crystals are sometimes placed in narrow segments of a room where you really can't cross the room without crossing the field.
Also quite the problem for testing workarounds, since for reasons I don't understand, most times I load the map to bug test it has no crystals at all but once in a while it seems loaded with them.
Is there a workaround? Would it be enough to set the escort to non-combat (not ideal, but at least doable)? Not using CoT maps for CoT abductions seems a little extreme, but its the first mission in an arc and it would be nice if it were reliably possible to complete it.
Finally got a map to spawn with the crystals--still not 100% clear on why it happens sometimes and not others. But whatever the reason, non-combat escorts don't appear to notice the crystals at all, they just run right through no problem.

Is this new behavior, or did I just miss it before? Also, is there any known workaround, such as a particular AI setting that ignores the crystal? I really like the map I'm using, and would like avoid going through all the COT maps trying to find one that never has crystals (assuming such a map even exists)... |

Guess I'll have to change my hostage to non-combat for now. She didn't have a lot of combat power (my plot had her badly drained by the bad guys), but it made more sense for her to have some combat ability than none.
