The Voyager that's flying now is not necessarily the Voyager that was launched. The hardware is the same, but they've updated, patched, and rewritten the software that's running in it throughout the years. I'm not suggesting that the failsafe mode wasn't originally considered, and implemented, but simply that it doesn't have to be the case. They could have made changes to it over time.
