It is unlikely this senior crew messed it up, if Your procedure is solid.
There is no magic IFR to VFR transition. Just like in your B737-800, the pilot of an IFR helicopter conforms to a published procedure until visual. If you're not visual at the MAPt you follow the missed approach procedure and either try again, or hold, or go somewhere else.
And as for the other question. A senior crew can mess up, I can assure you of that. We see it quite often in simulator training (but I'm not saying for sure this crew messed up, but it's certainly a possibility).
