I'm also not familiar with the camp, but I can throw out the following observation which may or may not explain what you saw.
You hit the other mob. The Nocs start chasing you, but only have assist aggro, so they can run past 100 other mobs and those 100 mobs should not add. Yet.
If at some point the Nocs get close enough to you, they'll have direct aggro on you, as if you'd hit them in the first place (or walked up and made mean faces at them). At that point, any mobs they run past *will* add and will have assist aggro on you, as they are assisting the Nocs. An early response in this thread suggested the Nocs would only have assist aggro on you until they hit you; I could be wrong, but I think a more accurate representation is that they only have assist aggro on you until some condition occurs that would have given them direct aggro on you. You hit them, you cast on them, they get within range of you.
So is it possible that you run into the room in question, you stop moving, the Nocs enter the room, and as soon as the Nocs get close enough that they would have gotten direct aggro on you, then other mobs start assisting them?
