Bugbear Strongman

For some reason, the Bugbear Strongman aggroed me (75BRD) yesterday while in Oldton. Considering the level, I'm guessing it must aggro regardless of con or something somewhat like the Detectors in Ve'Lugannon Palace and Defenders in Ru'Avitau.

I've never walked right in front of Strongman myself, but I can confirm that certain CoP area NMs will occasionally aggro no matter what level you are. Vodyanoi for one didn't aggro me the first time I killed him, but the second and fourth time I killed him I was unable to SA him because he aggroed (I still didn't get any exp so varying levels are not the reason). Whether this is an intentional behavior pattern or just a bug is beyond me.
I would also like to point out that this aggro pattern is not an indication on whether or not they will drop anything (some people tend to draw conclusions like that), on Vodyanoi I had the following aggro/drop results:

1: No aggro, NIN drop.
2: Aggro, no drop.
3: No aggro, no drop.
4: Aggro, NIN drop.
Note: I didn't get exp on any of the kills so theoretically he shouldn't have aggroed at all.

a mob is non-aggressive for the first few seconds it is spawned. kind of a "GTFO" window.

By the time you proc SA and cast Utsusemi that ship has pretty much sailed, especially when he's already up when you get on the barge. As for Strongman, considering his level he shouldn't aggro a 75. Period.
