Stealing is a Form of Flattery - Dropship kills pilot and mech

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
Near the end of this mission the dropship arrives to allow for quick extraction. In my scenario my character is in a Centurion and is close to the base. The dropship arrives and seems to crush my mech and pilot.

Steps to reproduce the issue
My character is in the field/valley directly south of the base we need to occupy, basically one more turn of moving and I'm in there. We had 1 turret left and just have to destroy that and move into the circle. All enemy mechs are destroyed.

After the dropship arrives my team's turn occurs and my character is marked off as 4/4 damage (dead) and it appears the dropship landed right on him. I was able to complete the mission in spite of this and post mission report had him alive but out of action for 96 days and the centurion was 100% destroyed aside from I think one SRM4.

On the ground during the mission you will see some of the ground DOTs are red DON'T Stand There. One update added "Don't stand here when Drop ship arrives of your pilots will die" or some similar comment when moused over them [the red dots].
