Eriksson System Optional Objective

I tried to complete the optional objective in the raid on Eriksson system again yesterday:
Flew in under cloak in a T2 BOP.
Disabled the rightmost 2 freighters and blew up the three civilian escorts there, disengaged and ran on full impulse to the leftmost, disabled the the 2 freighters there, blow up the lone escort.
Beamed the materials out of the two freighters to the left. Optional objective shows (2/4)
By now one of the left freighter group had repaired and was moving, so I blew it up.
Full impulse back to the rightmost 2 freighters, which by now had repaired and moved quite a bit. Disables them again and beam the materials out of one of them. (3/4)
Suddenly the optional objective changes to Red and is failed!
Is this because the freighter I didn't blow up in the leftmost group has jumped out? Even though it was looted and empty when it warped out?
Beams over the cargo from the last freighter. Optional shows (4/4) but is still failed. Blows up the two empty freighters on the right.
Goes back to middle and destroys one generator. Fed escort (?) warps in.
Destroys fed escort. Destroys last generator. The two freighters in the bubble begins to move.
Disables and loots the two freighters. Wait for them to repair, and blows them up.
Loots the medical storage: Mission completes.
I thought the optional objective would be complete if I beamed out the cargo of the four freighters that starts to move when I enter the mission, but apparently I both have to beam the cargo out, wait for the freighter to start moving again, and destroy it?
Apart from being pointlessly bloodthirsty, thats even harder than the 'Loot four freighters out of the six total in the mission' like it was when I tried the mission on Tribble :-(

The same applies to the mission where you raid the convoy. If you allow even ONE to escape before you raid all 5, the optional objective will always be a fail.
Thats as far as I can tell. I can't acomplish the Eriksson optional mission on solo, the freighters are just too resiliant, and reach the beacons too fast for me to get them all before one warps out. I just ask for random help before I start. An extra body goes a LONG way toward chasing down and looting those other 2.
