Until they evolve enzymes to convert regular amino acids into the extra ones.

  Do you think they can even survive for long enough outside the special media for that to happen? The most common method of escape that I read about is a genetic mutation that swaps out the recoded substitution for an amino acid that happens the keep the protein viable. This is preventable if you simply use multiple substitutions in multiple places. That makes the probability of viable escape next to nothing if done well.
