There is no pop-ups anymore anywhere. For example look at the latest Harpoon's (first models were making it).
It was removed by simply modifying the flight-program.
About "chaff" and so on - modern missiles can identify Radar "profiles" of the targets and attack designated target in the group (At least "Granit" does that fro a long time already).
So simple chaff would not work.
Probably if there is IR seeker, it can provide IR "profile" too. But that is just my guess.
