See, I actually liked the tie-in to the second AVP film, because the "problem" that sets up AVP:R is actually the "humanity" (for lack of a better term) of the Predators, rather than just deus ex machina - in this case, the fact that they "honor" their dead, rather than just leave them. It's the Predators need to "reclaim" the body of the last warrior and bring it back to their ship, not knowing that it's been impregnated with an Alien, that sets up the sequel - much better than just "oh, one must have escaped".
Plus, it sets up the whole "Predalien" creature that runs rampant in AVP:R, and that's just cool.
