somehow i don't think it's a bug. i remembered reading an article/interview where bad owner/good creature is a strategy of some kind 2 convert villagers. u cast fear on them & make your creature some kind of a saviour so they'll definitely come 2 him for help & when he 'delivers', they're as good as believers.
