More evidence for these classic bugs from some posts of mine in the big Rants and Raves post about enc charm a few months back.

Charmed pets not always obeying /pet commands:

Charmed beings are SUPPOSED to act like other caster pets and follow the
same commands. I've noticed most of the time they work properly but
occasionally you'll charm something that aspires to be an Enchanter Pet
(ie.. they won't attack unless you're attacked first)

The majority of my charms worked fine but I would occasionally have this
charmed nasty following me around like a lost puppy dog. Of course once
the charm broke it was more than willing to attack something =)

Charmed pets attacking party members sometimes:

Furthermore, the charmed creatures will attack your party members
and they won't be able to hit back. You have to watch it like a hawk.
You will be able to stop the pet from attacking your buddies, but it
won't be like your normal animation pet in that you will have to keep
track of it.

Again I'm not sure trying to emulate these bugs is the best way to go, rather tuning charm to be more unpredictable would create a more classic feel.
