When doing the quest, you go through , complete the objective, and start to exit.
If you exit quickly, nothing spawns, but if you linger, numerous beetles spawn on the way out, as if you were just entering. Normally, this is limited to two or three bugs which myself and my companion easily deal with, however, this time it spawned 6+, each dealing 8+ damage. Needless to say, my 39 hp companion got slaughtered.  Also, usually when your exiting ( i always run, no reason to walk) there is nothing in front of you, but it spawns behind you causing trouble for companions

Note: Down 350 xp, if this is not a bug please tweak it so it spawns /before/ you pass so that our near-mindless companions don't get dive bomb killed.

There's nothing different about the spawn system in this area and I don't know why monsters would be spawning on the way out. I did tweak things a bit to make sure the encounter couldn't be missed on the way in. In general, though, it does make sense for BURROWING beetles to be able to pop out from the soil unexpectedly.

Note that companions will result in an equivalent increase in monster spawns as if they were a similarly leveled PC.

I have adjusted many of the more common/weaker beasts to have a much reduced XP training cost.
