Since you didn't get an answer from the OP, I can answer these for my instances of this happening:
It only happens at the Washington Monument. Out of all the times I run the CPs (a lot), I've only seen this happen at the Washington Monument.
The CP was completed before, though it would be the first time for the session I am playing at the time. I run the CPs on a pretty regular basis. I typically run them on CP3. I normally only have enough time to play to run through the CPs for a single faction before having to leave, so I don't run each CP more than once in a single play session.
I only run solo, so no group.
I normally start the series of True Sons CPs by fast traveling to the Black Tusk stronghold. I then go north to clear The Levee, after that I will go to clear the Ellipse Fuel Depot, once both of those are cleared I move on to the Washington Monument. When I take a CP I start by clearing the first wave, then after the first "heavily armed hostile", I will pop the flare to trigger the second wave. I typically clear all the open world activities associated with each CP immediately after clearing the CP. However, on a regular basis I get the problem of not being able to pop the flare for the second wave on Washington Monument. It doesn't happen everytime, maybe 1 in 3 or 4. The only way I have found to clear it, is to go back to the White House, perform some action (sell junk, buy gear, etc...) and then go back. Normally the CP is still clear, I am able to pop the flare, and then it spawns the first of two waves of attackers and everything is back to normal.
If I just go to the White House and immediately leave without performing an action, the CP will be exactly how I left it - unable to pop the flare.
I don't know how to create videos of game play.
Hope this helps.
