If this helps, I completed a successful red alert, and when I zoned back into sector, the red alert was still on the screen. I decided to click on it, and had 4 more groups to kill, but there was no unimatrix ship then. I believe that this was in Alpha Trianguli.
I am going to file a ticket every time one fails. At least with the similar UIA bug you can still complete the mission and get your rewards. This one, in contrast, is mission-breaking and extremely annoying because no command group means no dilithium and no marks.
The reason I bring up the UIA bug, though, is because I wonder if there could be something similar causing it. That said I have yet to see Undine mobs to attack the Orb even once, whereas once in a blue moon I will see a Borg command group.

Alot of the time I've been doing this mission, the 0047 ship doesn't appear, but there is a way to tell if it will or won't, right away.
Level Scaling.
On the Character page, it lists the player being scaled down, but in some (many) cases now, its not working.
0047 will NOT appear if: You are level 60, you are not scaled down in level, and the Borg are scaled to level 52.
0047 WILL appear if: You are level 60, you are scaled down to level 44, and the Borg are also scaled to level 44.
In concise:
1) Enter Borg Red Alert.
2) Check player page for scaled level
3) Check Borg for their scaled level
4) Complete mission
5) Note the link between Level 44 and successful missions, and lvl 52 and failed ones.
I've never seen two 0047's appear at once, so no idea there, so if anyone sees that happen, check the level you and the Borg are scaling to.

I've never seen two Unimatrix appear either, but have had none appear more than once as well, so I'll be using this to see if it'll work!
Well, I play Borg Red Alert yesterday in Pi Canis and we had 2 motherships at once... After killing them I switched instance and get to the one without it... So as Deferi say - the balance is regained...
Well,I did a few today, and all succeeded except one... where I was fighting a Tac Cube when the 4th mob went down. AFAIK the other two we didn't even touch the Tac Cubes.
And I had a fun convo:
[REDALERT] redacted: for the unimatrix not spawning?
[REDALERT] Drexela@marhawkman: yes
[REDALERT] redacted: VERY good to know, much appreciated
[REDALERT] Drexela@marhawkman: I was trying to kill the tac cube before the fourth group went down, but didn't kill it fast enough
[REDALERT] Drexela@marhawkman: I even got to see a picture of myself fighting the Tac Cube when the B'Ger cutscene played without it
[REDALERT] redacted2: every time ive seen the bug happen its because somone was still fighting a cube when the cutscene hit
[REDALERT] redacted: ...Isn't there more than one tac cube group?
[REDALERT] Drexela@marhawkman: cube in general or tac cube?
[REDALERT] redacted2: then a phantom cube seems to stay and prevents the unimatrix appearing
[REDALERT] redacted2: more often than non tac cubes
[REDALERT] redacted2: but its happend to me when in th emiddle of a regular cube at times
[REDALERT] redacted2: its happend 95% of the time with tac cubes and probably 25% with regular if no one was engaged with tac cubes based on what ive seen
[REDALERT] Drexela@marhawkman: interesting, I'll add that to the bur thread on the forum
[REDALERT] redacted2: hopefully they dont fix the double unimatrix bug if they ever get around to fixing RA's :P
[REDALERT] redacted3: alas I have not seen a double pickle situation in like 2 weeks
[REDALERT] redacted2: only places ive seen it are alpha centauri and onc ein sirius
1 - No Cigars and we all just leave
2- we Get 2 Cigars, each clones of eachother and we are forced to kill both to gain credit for the one Kill Requirement.

Thank you very much.
We appreciate you looking into it.
thank you for looking into it. Just happened again in Beta Ursae about 7 minutes ago.
Thank you
Alpha Trianguli
Just done both Red Alerts and the Unimatrix was a no-show on both occasions.
I have tired more than a dozen RA today on various toons and this is the first where a Uni spawned.

If the unimatrix spawn, then without (regeneration) probes. But mostly there is no unimatrix at the end. :S

MY luck has either been...
1 - No Cigars and we all just leave
2- we Get 2 Cigars, each clones of eachother and we are forced to kill both to gain credit for the one Kill Requirement.
