Guards protecting monsters

[Gardner Denver]

I'm not evil so this guard should not have attacked me.  Then he chased me and continued to attack as I ran.

It is being reported that this is happening again.  Although for the record, I tried to duplicate this yesterday and was never once attacked by a guard....

Not saying it isn't happening, just saying I could not make it happen.  Also being reported that sometimes, even though the guard attacks first, people are getting evil points.  Again, could not duplicate this though.
