I see absolutely no reason to have this fixed for one set of NPCs and not the other.

One would assume it's because different code sets control "citizen" NPC AI as opposed to mob NPC AI.

Bingo. I don't believe that non-combatants will be changed to be able to see through stealth any time soon, if at all.

I totally agree with hostages not seeing though anything that is as powerful as (or more powerful than) Invisibility. But for hostages to not be able to follow through super speed, and AOE stealth/defense buffs is a bit much. If it doesn't render you completely invisible to unbuffed baddies (ie those without perception bonuses) then it shouldn't render you invisible to the person you're helping out the door. After all, they already know you're there.
