Ambushed on autosave load?

I attempted to load my game from an autosave (It's the autosave from leaving the area where the event happens after which Dorn is first allowed to join your party...) And my party was automatically surrounded by hobgoblin archers (all of which were conveniently targeting my main character)... It took me 5 load attempts to get lucky and survive the attack... It seems as though the game automatically assumes you were ambushed during travel if your save is in one of these non-specific areas... I'm assuming this was unintentional...

    The whole area appears to be glitched actually, even after dispatching them and successfully resting the hobgoblins are all there surrounding you again (again, targeting your main character)...

    Yeah, Dorn's place is an ambush area.
    And it is also a unique area.
    Ambush areas normally forbid saving.
    Now, what is better?
    1. Forbid saving in Dorn's area or
    2. empty ambush when you stumble into this area a second time?

    They probably could tune the spawn down here, but i think it is fine.
    You are not supposed to rest in an ambush area and normally you couldn't.

    Well, it does auto-save there... And it shouldn't re-spawn hobgoblins automatically and randomly like that... Even if this was intentional the fact that they automatically target the main character is broken... They should start without a target and let the AI target the closest character instead... At the time my character was a lvl2 mage/thief with like 6 or 7hp, making surviving 6 hobgoblin archers in every direction a bit ridiculous...
