Yeah, Square-Enix, nice improvement.
This is perhaps the most unlikely situation to occur if the NMs are popped by triggers. It demonstrates a complete lack of knowledge or experience in other facets of the game.

For instance, almost every NM in Abyssea is popped by a trigger. Nobody can block you out of them. They might be able to pop one before you if they spam the ???. It's just luck really. But you're stopping them just as much as they're stopping you and with 1 minute ??? repops it's not even a big deal. The only thing that they can do is perhaps try and hold an NM so that the ??? can repop. If this is the case, you can simply GM them (it is against the ToS.)
