Are you refering to the paragraph: "When a required network becomes non-operational, the virtual machines running on the network are fenced and migrated to another host. This is beneficial if you have machines running mission critical workloads."?

Apparently, I am not familiar enough with Engine's fencing logic; logs may help me understand the issue, for me they are necessary is this case. In particular, I'd like to see with my own eyes whether the VMs where explicitly destroyed by Engine. Migrating VMs to an operational destination makes a lot of sense. Destroying a running VM in attempt to recuperate of a host networking issue is extraordinary (and as such, requires exraordinary evidence).
