I can only offer anecdotal evidence with a caveat: I haven't seen Saffron dodge anything since the update, but the only reliable place I could see that are whaleship missions since with the other maps it's pretty rare for any group of pests to survive a first turn face-full of Dendrobium's fist, Acacia's buzzsaws and/or Saffron's shooting gallery. If tomorrow's update doesn't fix it I'll test it in depth on the next bout of whaleship missions.
