Nothing any of those mods change, would appear to affect this, listed them for reporting.

The mission was a Covert Data Recovery on Connstuction Pit Data Protection Map

The starting location was the normal vanilla one with the Transmitter in the Nearest hut.
The crate the aliens are in is furthest back on the left hand side.
One Blue Chevron Line had pointed back there, but a quick look revealed nothing and I assumed a seeker had moved away.

Then it came again as I was positioning for triggering the last Exalt Node, with my Covert Operative sat on the 3^rd Node ready to fire if Needed.
I had a unblemished squad and only 2 Nodes used, Cleaing the Revealed Exalt in two rounds and 2 extra shots on the tight map.
This allowed me to take out each added incursion as they arrived.
Then on the pause before the last wave of Exalt, the Aliens in the crate steadied their weapons and revealed themselves.

I tried killing the last wave and the mission continued, I have no can opener to use and it looks like my perfect mission was a dream.
Least I can do is point out the bug that caused it.

[Edit]
After posting I went back and moved my soldiers next to them steadied, to see if they would Grenade me.
Instead on their turn the two Exalt appeard at the other end of the map, up near the start and game continued.
So appears they were hidden out of site and meant to be moved to the start location, but trigger range was only a single square.

That's a great bug report. Too bad the devs aren't likely to see it here.

 

Long War bug reports should be posted in the appropriate Beta Feedback thread in the "Long War" download page "forum section" for a quick response. (The LW Team has stated they don't check the main forum at all anymore for problems. Really, the dev team is the most likely to be able to help with a LW issue but anyone else who can also will be there.) You may also find that the answer is already known and posted in that section.

Rather than "re-posting", I suggest you contact a Moderator and ask them to move it to the link I gave above.

Thanks, but I already knew that.

I posted it as a link in Bug Report Forum when I made it, as I couldnt get pics to show up in that Forum.
