I don't remember the specific mission, but this occurs with other "bring hostage to computer" missions; if the computer is on the upper floor in a room with an elevated level, bringing the hostage under the goal computer is sufficient to trigger the victory conditions, as the game seems to measure absolute distance, without consideration of elevation (i.e., the condition should require that the hostage and the computer be at the same level). This means that you can complete the mission without having to clear the full route to the computer, as long as you can get close enough underneath the computer.

Pretty much any similar situations, it's all based on radius to target.   It would happen even if the glowie was in a different branch.

 

Similar to some blinkies you target can be done around obstacles as long as you can swing the camera into the right position.
