I've seen this happen a couple times with my enchanter - and a charmed mob.
Charm a mob that is attacking a player - and it doesn't break off unless
told. Hasn't happened often, but I have seen it happen.
Never seen it with the animation tho - although I don't doubt something
might have cropped up it could have happened.
With my enchanter (bard doesn't get charm for awhile) - if the monster is
engaged, I routinely hit /pet back off before telling it to attack a target
- that seems to work.
Of course - my enchanter is #1 on the hit parade once it DOES wear off.
