After decompressing and hesitating to attack an entire group of biters sometimes disappear from the game

[jigsaw3xD]

I was able to make a save right before a group of biters disappear (consistently) and can upload it if needed (it's a Space Exploration playthrough with lots of other mods tho none of them are enemy-related except for Rampant). I'm not 100% sure if decompressing and hesitating are actually relevant to this bug but those were conditions under which bug occurred several times in my playthrough.

Their "hesitation status" (when they either just stand there or move towards very slowly) seem to be very wonky as well with biters compressing/decompressing several times near player entities (walls/turrets) and sometimes getting killed while being compressed (tho this happens rarely and very hard to capture on video).

The group disappearing is due to the squad cleanup logic.

Can you provide a save?

This is the current issue that I'm looking into.

Witnessed the same issue with squads disappearing after several retreats (normally should stop retreating attempts and berserk, but something went wrong). Not related to squad decompression.
By the way what is the goal of retreating? To low AOE defenses effectiveness? It makes biters much more vulnerable against single-target turrets. More chances for revenge triggers?

Found one more retreat effect - defending (revenging?) biters squad is much more difficult to kite out of enemy base closer to my turrets. Fun!
And one more effect - settlers squad sometimes retreats, then survivors return and build. Bomb! But that's way too rare case.
