On the topic of bugged recruitment, it occured to me that perhaps they mean the generic 'this npc will not talk to you due to low approval' dialogue, after which a trade window open and you have to bribe the npc so that they like you enough to talk to you.
Because I've got that after knocking Minthara out and recruiting her.
