^I didn't lock up the Atlas using a LOS bug, I locked it up by having my squad running circles around it... though in the end I was just standing there shooting at it. I'd just chalk it up to a 1/100000 occurence.
The LOS 'bugs' aren't really bugs so much as they are limitations of the enemy unit itself. The Atlas can only fire from its hip level because that's where its weapons are. As long as its midsection is obstructed, it can't hurt you, while you can still hit it. This is like how the Praetorians from ME2 could only hit you from their eyes, even though their actual bodies are much bigger. Taking advantage of these weaknesses are a legitimate tactic IMO, since they don't exploit any particular fault in programming.
The autocannon might've been what was killing you.. I really don't like that thing because I don't get as good a sense of when it's shooting at me, yet it seems to do very heavy damage... For that matter, one of my complaints with the demo was that it seemed harder to tell exactly how much damage you were taking before you got really hurt. I just ended up taking super short bursts and potshots just in case.
Finally, I'd like to clarify my statement about Atlas's being just bigger YMIRs... I didn't mean to make Atlas's seem weak. I mean, they're kinda similar to YMIRs, but Atlas's are a lot worse to deal with.
