I've done Braving the Elements twice in the last month. Each time Therakiel failed to appear visibly in the final fight (voice and shaking still there) and both Ironclad and Defender were still standing at the end. Missions completed though.
Can't say if this began exactly at the same time all those lost cats appeared in MC, but close.

So it seems like this bug is still random... which means it will probably be pretty difficult to root out the problem and fix it.
Dropped the mission, left VB, closed the game, relogged a few minutes later.
Hope these steps help others as its probably not getting fixed.
However, anyone "new" that has never seen the cut scene is left scratching their head as to wth happened.
