Squad Graphic Overlay Not Disappearing In Mission

[Wyrd42]

I think this qualifies as UI related.  I just completed a mission on Boethius.  During the mission, as the thread title says, the squad overlay remained during the mission.  Over the course of the mission, the players with question marks over their profile picture had that mark change to a red x.  They all participated to the end of the mission, so I have no idea why that happened.  The biggest problem with this is that it made the minimap virtually unreadable in small form.

 

This might be relevant to the issue above, or a completely coincidental known bug showing up, but when loading the level, the load screen lasted much longer than usual and hit a point where we could use t to talk and hear our avatars moving/attacking should we press a relevant button to activate such sounds.
