What business does the GTVA have second-guessing an entity capable of sending its fleets to an alternate universe? Since when do you come up with contingency plans to deal with divine intervention?
Always.
Contingencies are always, always, a must. And the lack of them is inexcusable if you've had the time to prepare them. And if it is capable of sending our fleets to an alternate universe, then that's a stellar reason right there to start drawing up contingency plans for some kind of alien invasion or mass attempted deportation of fleets to another universe. Why did they send our fleet to an alternate universe?
Was it trying to strike us a blow? If so, when will they attack, and if they do, how will they do it, and how will we deal with it?
But basically, point is, if you know something, however little it is, you have to do something with that information. Here the GTVA knows some entity is playing funny buggers with their ships. So it's in the Alliance's best interest to prepare for that eventuality. Perhaps the GTVA has decided that ships that transit a subspace node and don't come out the other side soon enough is a good enough reason to suspend all subspace operations until such time it's been establish the Vishnans aren't trying to deport the GTVA to another universe en-masse?
