I haven't played again yet - I was shooting zombines and such last night.

Yeah. You just have to get there really fast. I backed up to the point that triggers the PM, with the speed aug turned on, and my dual pistols fully prepared, then sprinted out of there (location description:) to the door, up the stairs, and (if you're facing the right way when you hit the loading transition, you'll be facing the outside doorway after the transition) out the outside door, and (action description:) gunned down the two attackers before they could get around the fence to shoot him. Of course they may have been slightly distracted by the sudden appearance of Someone Who Is Actually Dangerous.
(location: I had entered the building from the roof, if it wasn't clear)
I'm guessing you aren't really SUPPOSED to be able to save him, and certainly couldn't if you didn't know the event was going to happen, but the developers probably had to add it in because people could do things like this. And because people like me considered him mission-essential and so were willing to reload and retry 5 times until we succeeded, just because he said he'd hack some security systems and thus we (er, I) felt compelled to save his bacon.
