Just had an experience with this. I sent my pretender out early to do some sight searching. Did not have the proper equipment or research to make her effective yet. So, I decided to script her to retreat just in case a random barbarian or bogus attacked occured. No need to take unnecessary risks, right? Well I just so happened to get the random event where an assassin attacks one of your commanders. D'oh! I'm 99% certain the pretender could have killed the assassin, but got killed instead. Fortunately, this was single player.

Yeah, I'd say its a problem. Just changing the code to ignore retreat scripts during assaissination attempts would probably fix this problem.
