I've run into this same type of bug on several different occasions; unfortunately the only solution is to reset the mission and try again. Fortunately most tips only take 5 minutes or so to run so it's not a huge deal... of course if you're deep into a TF and you get that same bug you could have an issue. Hmm, off the top of my head the only TF that comes to mind where this may be an issue is the LGTF.

Yeah, I filed a /bug report, and then reset the Tip. And almost had it happen again. >.<

For those situations, it's best to pull the enemy away from the hostage. I discovered this bit of wisdom when doing the safeguard jailbreak where the cops were being held hostage by Warhulks. If you don't pull them far away from the hostages, they die when the hulks go blam and you don't get credit for them.

This was indeed an issue during the LGTF when you had to rescue her. It's long since been fixed, but there were quite a few runs where people were "How'd we fail?" when no one had seen her yet, but the Nems in that last room were aggroed.

The same issue is happing with a tip mission where you must rescue Stormwind. Is this her name? She can get damage too - like Frostfire.
I wrote the support some petitions of this problem but the response was: The mission is working like the Devs wanted to. I don't think so.
Heh. Sure. It's totally WAI. 
What I really like is that one Tip where you have to rescue Ravenstorm. He spawns with his DoT Aura on, and if you don't aggro the guards, they end up dead due to the DoT Aura. Then, you just have to walk up to him, and he's saved.

Support is obviously totally wrong about this. Having a condition that can easily come up that makes a mission unfinishable should never ever ever be considered working as intended.|

Those support people who claimed this need to be transferred to another tech support department (specifically, in house tech support for Management. Muahahahahaha.)
I'd suggest the Devs add 100% immunity to an NPC and block any of said NPC's PBAoE Damage auras with 100% Damage suppression whilst they are in the captured state.
(Maybe use 1000% or 5000% instead of the 100% to guarantee this would work.)
So a captured NPC will do no damage and recieve no damage until rescued.
Fellow forumites and Devs, do you think this would this fix these issues?

In other words, treat them as non-combat hostages while they are hostages, and then change them to combat pets after rescued?|

That sounds like a good solution to me.

Also get rid of the bug where the hostage refuses to move if a psuedo pet is still out. I know if npc caltrops or the npc decoy phantasm is spawned the hostage refuses to do anything else until those entities despawn. For the first one its a problem on Knvies of Artimis missions because the freaking sea of caltrops will kill the hostage but wont kill the player. To be honest I can not even think of a time when any player I know has ever died to caltrops. Its just annoying as hell.
