On the other hand, we are dealing with a bunch of religious (if earlier E3 videos are to be believed) zealots who's actions can be...well...less than logical. :) Of course, as you said, these guys are normally pretty tough to kill so I guess he/she/it figured that it could survive another shot and still have time to rush out to you.
