I had issues with this cutscene due to its location. You have to check the same spot that spawns the enemy (which just so happens to have an AOE attack). I literally had to restart the cutscene 3 times because I kept getting hit by other players' enemies while I was watching the scene.
I only came across this situation that one time, but it could happen in any area where there are cutscenes near enemies that have AOE attacks. It was super annoying because the cutscene wasn't particularly interesting and I had nearly gotten to the end of it each time it got interrupted.
The development team realizes that this is a severe bug and will be making sure they pay more attention to these things moving forward.
With that said, for the official release version we will be fixing this bug and making it so you are invincible while watching cutscenes so they will no longer be cancelled.
