I think the point of the original post was just to point out that it can be frustrating to invest an hour in an MVM mission to encounter an unrecoverable glitch. I don't know whether or not implementing a restart round voting option is simple or not, but if it is, it would at least provide a low-cost (to the player, he would only lose a round, not the entire campaign) option to solving the problems of unrecoverable glitches.
I have experienced 3 such glitches in the past 2 weeks, each time we had to abandon the mission.
