I think there were two named Fortunatas that spawned by the base of the tower (where you have the Recluse fight in the STF).

Yup. Forum Red Names Arbiter Curry, Kim, Oats, and Kim all show up (which is AWESOME), and then Fortunata Eiffel and Fortunata Whelan spawn up the ramp to Lord Recluse's tower, one to the left, and one to the right.
Note that you don't have to defeat any of the Arachnos between the Longbow Boat and the Bane Spider, other than Arbiters Curry and Kim. Once you've defeated the Arachnos surrounding the Bane Spider, and then the two Fortunatas, the Bane Spider will follow you back to the Longbow Boat and won't get "recauptured". You can ignore the other Arachnos mobs, and lead him to the boat.
Of course, Arbiter Oats will ambush you on the way, but I managed to out run him (without knowing that I was, since I saw his text, but not him).
And Savage Siren, and then Silent Blade show up, along with a few Bane Spider Executioners. I defeated all of them (including Oats) after I lead the Bane Spider to safety and got Mission Complete.
Interestingly, I also had the An Unusual Suspect Tip drop while I was fighting things. It was removed when I exited the mission, though. Darn.

Biggest Troll on the forums? I'll give you a hint:

Another issue you might be having is that you must defeat the first arbiter on the ramp BEFORE the other arbiter becomes a mission objective, and then defeat that one BEFORE freeing the Bane Spider, and then defeat both fortunatas BEFORE extracting the Bane Spider. Unlike some missions it's entirely sequential. If you run past that first arbiter and look for the Bane Spider I don't even think he spawns; I couldn't find him. Gotta do this one by the book.

Right, it is a bit of an awkward mish. I think it's easier to clear a path on the way in. The targets spawn in sequential order, so you may have to backtrack to find them. The ambushes are a beast, but the good news is that no one attacked the Spider. Not sure if he's immune, or if I just got lucky.
It is a bit confusing the first time. However, when you get the hang of it, it's pretty simple and can be finished within 5 minutes for sure.
1) Defeat first guy on the ramp
2) Defeat next guy on the ramp near where the Patrons are in the STF (or the fateweaver, trainer for regular Grandville).
3) Defeat mobs by hostage
4) Defeat 2 Forts in the plaza (where towers are in LRSF)
5) Get hostage, walk him back
You can zig-zag on the path back to the Longbow boat to avoid mobs. I use a Scrapper so I don't really bother to zig-zag too much, though it's best to avoid the web nades. A squishy may want to chew a purple/breakfree during the escort.

I also had Mangle pop up between the Savage Siren and Silent Blade spawning.
I would almost suggest waiting out and killing the bane executioner spawns(the timer launched ambushers) before offing the Fortunatas (in the back of map, behind the statue) to reduce the number of simultaneous ambushers. Of course I was on my squishy emp/rad, ymmv
