If you kill the leader of a creature formation with waypoint movement and leave combat, the rest of the formation will continue to follow the WP path. If you attack the formation later and the leader spawns during combat the formation members will run away, but you keep being in combat until you find the leader.
Expected behavior
The formation members should stay in combat and only run away to their leader if combat ends.
Steps to reproduce
I tested this with GUID 27114. Kill the leader, get out of combat and let the formation continue on its path, then attack them later while the leader respawns.
