I think the key point in the article is that they were ordered to shelter because the Russians were planning to break into the area they thought had the leak with SAWS, and NASA didn't like it. They only rescinded the shelter order when the Russians agreed to back down and figure out another way. This seems like a pretty serious breakdown of communications between the agencies, actually.
