I wouldn't call it Deus ex Machina - it is consistent with Kosh's absences from the council, which are commented upon in the course of the episode.

I was thinking more of the way that they're stuck with an apparently unsolvable dilemma, and then bam, the Vorlons jump in and fix it. It amused me to think of it that way :)

The whole thing feels a bit like a Trek dilemma done differently.

Yeah, that's kind of what I was thinking; there's more pragmatism and politics than, say, Picard would have had to deal with, I think. I like Star Trek, but it's a much simpler world, generally.
