Summon Pet = agro?

I'm not sure if I'm on the right track here, but this happened multipe times since I started playing:

1) I get agro somewhere but manage to FD and let mobs reset
2) I move to a save spot and summon pet
3) As soon as pet pops in the mobs pop right on me and finish their job

As said, this happened multiple times to me, I see a pattern. Did anyone else notice this?
 
If it is a wander, then they might not have actually reset. Example: I was in mistwoods doing the necro quest where you throw the vial at bears and wolfs. Get aggro, FD, and it seems like it reset. I stand up, think all is ok, and then a minute later they will show up from like the other side of zone.

Is this what is happening? If it is, it is just a coincidence that your mob is showing back up after the pet is summoned.
 
This happened to me in GD wyrm caves two days ago too. Attacked one of the drakes, got an add that I wasn't expecting, so I dismiss my pet and FD. Both mobs were static spawns, I waited for them to move back to their spawn locations, and then stand up. At this point they do not aggro me, they just chill at their spawn points, so they have definitely reset. I then re-summon my pet, and BAM they aggro me. I was definitely out of aggro radius and did not have any harmful spells still cast on them, they just remembered my pet somehow and re-aggroed.
 
If you guys feel like running some experiments, try doing the same things you just did, but rename your pet while it's dismissed, and see what happens.
 
I am assuming you guys are necros of course. I find that when i use my face clicky which procks a small dot/slow/aggro (agonize) to pull even after the dot has worn off, and i get up and clearly have no aggro, if i get healed the mobs always come back after me. I have come to the conclusion that there is a bug with the "lingering" effects of dots on mobs, even after it is worn off if you get healed or change state in any form, you regain aggro, this also works with buffs. It might be a coding flaw or it might just be that that's the way its supposed to be. I never pull with that face clicky anymore, but its not like i can tell you guys to not dot mobs anymore so its a "what to do?!" kinda situation.
 
From prior extensive pet experience, I don't think pets always are "dead" when they're gone. Sometimes they do bug, as I've seen Tacotown pop up with weapons in his hand already, and still buffed. Seems to be pretty random when it happens, but never long after he died.

But for this particular thing I'm going to have to recommend tyrone's test. Seems feasible your pet is still on the aggro list. Recall minion I think would fix that.
 
For now I'm content that I'm not alone, hallucinating or else not 100% there. Tyrone's idea makes some sense, I'll try that out and post here.
