Had to drop a playthrough because of this.
That's how I've managed to ambush guards:
1. Attack a guard with any other character and enter the crime dialogue.
2. Switch to assassin.
3. Attack from stealth.
You'll get your actions back and all enemies are consistently surprised. However, the initial attack will not crit and I think there's currently no solution to it.
And it seems to be working with any class and any weapon or magic. And with any dialogue also I assume, not only the crime one.
