I had the same thing happen on Liberty with the KR bank mission with an elec/elec blaster. Floating backpacks, can only be hit with Short Circuit (my only AoE at level 14).

I had a similar problem, and it seemed like it was related to the elevators. I encountered it in the bank and the police station in the Peregrine Island Safeguard mission.
In the bank, I aggroed the looters in the lobby, ran past them, and took the elevator to the vault. The lobby guys followed me to the elevator, but apparently got stuck there.
After I defeated the boss and minion in the vault and returned downstairs, there were multiple Arachnos maces hovering in the air around the elevator. No targetable foes were visible, but I was able to Footstomp them to death. (The maces never went away. They just kept hovering.) So they were still tangible and on the map, but not visible, mobile, or targetable.
In the police station, I rescued the 3 Awakened PBs. They followed me to the elevator to the cells, but I arrived on the 2nd floor alone. When I returned to the first floor, I could see PB aura fx around the elevator entrance, but no visible or targetable allies.
Well, I made an interesting discovery tonight while doing a borked bank mission. This is what I encountered.....exactly as Robson described. I went in and out of the elevator till the 'floaters' were outside of it.
I couldn't target them but discovered that using an AoE power caused damage. I did this over and over till the mission actually completed!
�Many things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done.� I wonder if this is related to a couple of Mayhem Missions I had where the hero never showed up (one of which also included a jailbreak side mission where Echidna didn't follow me into the elevator).
I had something like this happen to me, but the floaters were able to move. I was stuck watching them run all the way to the getaway point without being able to hit them. I failed the mission because of it.
*edit: It was the PI bank mission for me.

I believe there is a fix for this on test.

Both of those just happened to me in the Peregrine Island Mayhem. I wonder if I'd exited the vault area immediately I might have been able to find Cacophony.

Just had for the Steel Canyon safeguard. Unfortunately my only non-target AoE is caltrops. 
So I reset it and ran past the front guards so I could get the villian before they broke into the vault.
That worked until I failed because the front guys run out when the vault door gets broke and they apparently count as having the money even though I stopped all the money bag carriers.
How can these guys steal anything when they can't even use an elevator properly!?!
Just got this bug on the mayhem side, and found out that you can use pets to kill them. The pet I used was a zombie from the Loa Bone, but my guess is that any pet that attacks on it's own without being ordered will work. Also, you can target through the pet to attack them yourself.
Just be sure to stand next to the part of the elevator they would have tried to use, and it should work.

Probably. I tried another one shortly afterwards, but this time I immediately went upstairs when the hero's dialogue appeared, found her, and was able to complete the mission.|

So, yeah, elevator-related issues.
I got the same thing (twice) - King's Row Bank Protection mish (once from King's Row Detective, once from Steel Canyon Detective) - "Ghost" bank robbers (floating moneybags and weapons) + NO timer, and NO side-events.
Also - no area effect attacks or pets so I can't take em out that way.
I bugged it in-game. Gonna leave em until I hear something.
(I also logged out and back in to see if that fixed it - just reset to beginning and did the same thing.)

*Peregrine Island bank mission, standard fare - "Protect Peregrine Island bank"
*Primary villains in the bank (NOT those near the door) were just floating backpacks, didn't move, didn't attack, never hit the vault. They were stuck at the bottom of the elevator to the vault floor. I wasn't able to target them, but was able to kill the minions. Yet to see if I'll be able to kill the EB with my poor Stone/Ice Tanker using nothing but Frozen Aura (can't target them).
