Elven Warriors at Underdark Exit Turning Hostile

I'm doing a no-reload run and it was going pretty well.

But when I rested near the Underdark exit, a group of drow attacked the elves there.

The elven mage cast a lightning bolt at the drow, and hit my party in the crossfire. They also hit some of the other elves. After the elf hurt the other elves, they all turned hostile towards me and it ended my no-reload game.

I just re-tested it, disabling party AI and double checking that the electrical reflection cloak wasn't equipped. My party is just standing there. And yep - as soon as one elf damages another elf, they all turn hostile and it ends my game.

I have a rule on my no-reload runs that I'm allowed to reload if a bug occurs.

Does this count as a bug?

    Ah I found an answer here: https://www.gibberlings3.net/subpages/bg2fixpack/docs_scripting/

    "Elhan's Elves Turning Hostile (And Not) Inappropriately

    When leaving the Underdark, the party encounters groups of drow and surface elves fighting. The AI scripts used for shouts (used for groups of creatures to work together) are the same for both sides, meaning that a drow calling for help can cause the surface elves to go hostile against the party as a response. A secondary issue is with the elven war guard that appears simply to kill the PC if the player attacks Elhan or his elves. Similar to Arkanis Gath, the war guard exists purely to prevent the player from getting into an impossible-to-finish game. However, if the player attacks the surface elves fighting the drow in the last Underdark tunnels, the player can then attack all of Elhan's camp without the war guard spawning, leaving the player in an impossible to finish game."

    Guess it's a bug then if the fix pack addresses it?
