It’s interesting that people had problems stealing from Abdirak, Nettie and Kagha. I’ve definitely done all these things in patch 8 and they haven’t called me on it. But I have noticed getting challenged more so something has clearly changed. I wondered if committing a crime when other party members are within visible range of an NPC might be the trigger, as it’s often someone in my party other than the person I’ve had sneaking who is accosted. I’ve not tested this thoroughly though.

Thank you for letting me know that these non-stealth sections are indeed bugs, quite helpful to know ^^

As for the questionable detection, here is an example with Nettie which I mentioned:

My party members are hidden far away at the entrance of the inner grove and out of sight. As for Nettie and her bird, neither are looking towards the chest yet as soon as I click on it she immediately locks onto me. So it is definitely yet another bug for stealth in Patch 8.

The only way for me to interact with or steal anything in the room is to make her go into the next room through the conversation, but when she is in the room it is just impossible.
