Not sure if this happens in EE, but definitely does in the original -
Observed

If you have already saved Dynaheir *before* talking to Edwin for the first time, he will join your party to watch over her. However, if Dynaheir then dies at any point, he will initiate the dialogue as if you had agreed to kill her, negotiating your reward.
Expected
--------
If Dynaheir dies after Edwin joins your party, he should either depart or stay, but it should not execute the same dialogue as if you agreed to kill her.

If by some crazy chance you don't talk to Edwin, but instead grab Minsc and save Dynaheir from the Gnolls, and then you later have a chat with our favorite Red Wizard of Thay, he demands to go with you to keep an eye on her. Its actually the only way to get all three in a party... though that party isn't likely to last.
After this, if Dynaheir dies, I've always been immediately prompted with Edwin's dialogue discussing her death and his payment to me. This is even though we never negotiated a payment because he never joined me under the pretense of me agreeing to kill her.
Not a developer, but might be an easy fix (maybe?) if you only trigger the dialogue if the player chose the dialogue option to agree to kill her *and* she dies.
Yeah, my post was embarrasingly similar to yours after a re-read! About Edwin and his payment, it seems like he shouldn't initiate dialogue unless you talked to him before you went and got Dynaheir.
Just like you, I did not talk to him beforehand AT ALL. He insisted on joining my party. Dynaheir dies, we start talking about payment. Lolwut.
Hilariously, after that dialogue about payment he finally delivered his "reaction to party member death" line, "The witch finally falls!" or something like that. This is probably all that *should* happen, not the whole discussion about payment.
Anyway yeah, not really a bug, just an oversight that definitely needs addressing if it isn't already.
Dinaheir is a personal problem that he throw in the party, after all it's Edwin, if he can fulfill his mission and even manipulate the main objective to achieve his ends... well it's just more profit. If you speak with Edwin with Dynaheir in the party, he will start to make advices of how evil, disgusting, dangerous, problematic (among other compliments) Dynaheir is, but he will still fulfill his main mission. Of course no one fall for Edwin's biased stupid warnings.
If i'm not wrong, if you reach Dynaheir with Edwin in the party, you can even force him to accept her in the party, or just say to him to kill her by himself (what he does with no problems).
