Stuck in Combat bug and "safe" pets.

I just read in the topic "Bugged Chronomaggus"that pets' AoE abilities are what's causing the stuck in combat bug in several dungeons, including the new Zul 5-mans, and probably most raids (my guild got this bug in a Mt. Hyjal raid recently)

I honestly had no idea any of my pets were causing this. I opened 2 GM tickets about the bug, even talked to a GM directly, and neither of them even suggested this as a problem. I'm just sick of this bug showing up -- I haven't been able to get through any of the Zul dungeons At All with Cerah.

This is what I've compiled for a "safe pet" list, since these pets don't have any AoE abilities, neither attacks nor buffs. Please let me know if I've screwed up anywhere:

Bats
Birds of Prey
Dragonhawks
Monkeys
Nether Rays
Ravagers
Serpents
Spiders
Wind Serpents

Dogs
Hyenas
Raptors
Wasps

Beetles
Boars
Crabs
Crocolisks
Scorpids
Turtles
(remember for tenacity pets, turn off Thundershock!)

As you can see, our Ferocity pet selection is severely limited, though for a properly specced BM, most Cunning Pets should do just as well. All Exotic Pets seem to be affected by this bug.

For the record, it just f***ing figures that hunter pets would once again be causing problems in Zul'Gurub. -_-

I have not had any issues with:
Cats
Spirit Beasts
Devilsaurs
Gorilla (I use this to tank Panther boss so Thundershock taunt and growl all left on)
Ravager
Chimera

Also have not had a single issue of stuck in combat at all except in Lost city where the Fox would aggro a critter and send it running around.
