It looks like this is in fact a faction bug. Good catch.

Guards in both North and West Karana will attack lions, except young plains lions and lionesses. Since I'm a druid, I have the benefit of being able to spot faction differences in animals. The young plains lion(ess) con dubiously to me and are ignored by the guards. All other lions and animals con amiably, and are attacked by the guards. So those two types of lions must not be on the proper faction to be attacked.
