Dunno if its even a bug. When i grinded Inv back in the day. The marks pretty commonly aggroed random mobs and players allike. One of my marks killed some poor noob straight of the spaceshuttle in Mos Eisley before i could get there lol.
Seems unfair.... but it was funny had me laughing
In the old, olddays the bh tef worked somewhat differently than now. Marks were unattackable by anyone other than a bh with an active bh tef. One bh could get attacked by another bh's mark if he still had an active bh tef. So you would sometimes finish with a mission and while waiting at a shuttle (back in the days of 10 minute waits)another bh with an active mission would spawn, along with his mark, but the mark usually spawned first. If you still had an active bh tef (they were 5 minutes or so back then) you could find yourself getting attacked.
Later they changed the tef and marks were attackable by anyone, actually aggro if I remember correctly. This led to a lot of dead afk toons at places like outposts on Yavin, Dant, and Dath. It also led to a lot of noobs in Tyrena or Coronet getting aggroed by bh marks.
For a long time now bounty hunter marks have been attackable by anyone. Sometimes they will aggro you (perhaps based on a faction issue), sometimes not.
As I understand from Blix's post last night he is changing the bh marks to only be attackable by a bh again.
