Broken, nothing spawned at all at the event site. Server: Darkhaven. Sept 24, 2012 10:05 PM PST
Not fixed. Server: Darkhaven, talking to Heart NPC Meinolf Njordson starts the event, but it starts bugged at 9/10 Icebrood killed and Veteran at 0% hp with zero mob spawn at the event site. Sept 24, 2012 9:48 PM PST
OK, I finally able to clear it. After trying so many times, here’s what went well for me:
1. Ignore the first dead Asura.
2. Clear all the mobs on the path of the first green circle.
3. Then ignore all the mobs and keep running to the 1st research team (on the hill).
4. Help 1st research team fight undeads.
*5. When it’s time to move, walk S-L-O-W-L-Y + in the middle of the path > making sure all research team is moving and following you.
6. Go into the cave after whisper agent clears the barricade.
*7. Clear ALL mobs inside the cave including southern exit BUT DO NOT GO NEAR the abomination that fights the 2nd team.
8. After southern exit is cleared, help 2nd team defeat the abomination.
*9. When it’s time to move, walk S-L-O-W-L-Y + in the middle of the path toward the southern exit.
10. After Trahearne summon his minions, go back and exit from the cave entrance.(*) < Important step.
It doesn’t matter whether Trahearne died, or left behind, because he will spawn next to you. Goodluck!

This quest bugged out for me where either half of the research team would not follow me, or I reached the south-end of the cave with the barrier up and no cutscene. After two hours of wipe-festing, I finally gave up and came to the forums. Reading through about 5 pages of complaints, I found the gem of a method listed above.
It took me two tries with the method above. The first time I tried, the quest bugged between steps 8 & 9 after I killed the abom-boss when 4 more grubs appeared out of nowhere. Once I killed those grubs and got to the south end, the barrier was back up with no cutscene yet again.
On the second go-round I figured out the problem: when you first enter the cave, there are supposed to be 4 grubs at the beginning of the cave, not 2. (Sorry guys, but if you hit the cave and only find 2 grubs at the beginning, you’ll have to start this quest from the beginning again until ArenaNet finally fixes this quest.) Between steps 8 & 9, only 2 grubs spawned as they’re supposed to while escaping to the barrier. I hit the barrier and then BOOM, cutscene, YAY!!! The rest of this quest worked like clockwork.
Sidenote: Although I’m primarily a fire-magic elementalist, in order to solo this quest I found I had to use water-magic ONLY to heal my NPC’s and keep them alive to survive the bug.

I experienced this bug myself today, I got around it by swimming out to the ship and destroying it with my spear. Very easy.
Agreed with the workaround quoted above: both trebuchet bugged out with the same error for me. I swam out to the ship and fireballed it till it sank. The chain continued as normal from there.
Still bugged… I’m on realm Darkhaven at Sept 10, 2012 6:20 PM PST. About a dozen players are all here. We click and see the blue flames, the event orange circle shows up, then says that 2/3 ethereal vanguards are already defeated. Nothing else happens. Cannot get the skill point as boss and adds will not spawn.
