Playing on Total Carnage, the only way I have found to get through the secret term area reliably, if inelegantly, is to make multiple passes through the room, two but usually three. The only thing Bungie did to help a brother out is putting the exit teleporter in a direct line to where you appear in the room. Basically, run like little girl and do nothing else until you hit the teleporter. After the first or (if necessary second) pass, the Pfhor will have started to fight among themselves, and the last trip through there should only be one to a few survivors left to clean up. It is an utterly cheap solution.
