All NPCs try to hide in shadows

I have Imoen, Khalid and Jahiera in my party. J and K are scripted to fighter-defensive; I is scripted to thief-ranged.
Expected behaviour: NONE of the party member attempt to hide in shadows (not even Imoen)
Observed behaviour: All 3 attempt to hide in shadows. Imoen succeeds sometimes; K & J fail every time.

Character is a Dwarven Fighter/Cleric. Took the quest Errand for Fuller near the start and upon accepting it for some reason my character made a Hide in Shadows attempt and succeeded. Since then at frequent intervals it repeats this check (mostly failing) which is annoying because it stops movement. Reloading or moving between areas does not fix it.
Expected behaviour:
Fighter/Clerics should not randomly decide they're going to be a Thief and then remain like that apparently indefinitely.
For me this started after killing the assassin in the priests quarters.
If you could give the cavalier (or other character for that matter) better stealth skills somehow it could actually be an interesting exploit...
The AI scripts generally seem to be lacking compared to what was available in BG2. Specifically the Thief "scout" (always hide in shadows) and "adventurer" (always search for traps) scripts are missing.
However, it seems like there is some overlap between these scripts and the "defensive" and "ranged" scripts people are complaining about here. Defensive appears to trigger the search for traps skill, and ranged triggers hide in shadows. Neither of these behaviours are mentioned at all in the script descriptions, so I wonder if there has been some confusion?
I would like to point out this freaky little bug: after setting the "fighter defensive" script on Khalid, he tries to hide in shadows as if he was a thief with the "thief defensive" script.
Did anyone else notice that too?
I'd also like to add that when a rogue is under 50% HP, (s)he keeps trying to HiS constantly. Even when the HiS has succeeded, a new try is attempted.
Imoen will constantly try to hide in shadows, and will stop after each attempt. If I have her walking she will stop everything and I will have to click her to move again.
Is this normal?
Thanks
