Then there was the ghost, that fly away and become invisible. When they do so I loose them as a target, and can not retarget them until they reappear, but my thugs not only keep shooting at them and damage them, but can follow them even after they have become completely invisible.

Is this not from the +perception that Tactics gives from the enforcer pet? Only affects your own pets hence why it'll disappear from you, try popping a yellow or two, you should be able to see that pesky Ghost

I noticed something last night when I was fighting CoT with my Thug/PD MM. The thugs cheat.
First off the cold demons that can resurrect them self, well when they do so it takes a few seconds before I can target them, however when my thugs are set to aggressive they start shooting the demon as soon as it start to rice, and it was half death again before I could target it.

Can't explain the first instance. I have seen that too with any of my MM pets and my Crab Spider pets with Zombies and Rikti spawns in zone events too. A lot of minions go down before they are meant to be attackable. Not that I complain about that mind you! 
As for the second instance you mention, keep in mind that fully equipped thugs have the enforcers running leadership powers which allow the thugs a chance to see stealthy foes and therefore continue to attack targets trying to placate.

Probably the same code that allows mobs to target PCs when they become invisible after agroing them?

"You should come inside the box... Then you'll know what I mean."
You can also use PBAoE to hit untargettable enemies.
Becoming invisible doesn't fool any NPC once you've agroed it, pet or not. It simply shouldn't work this way, but it does.

It also works with the rikti invasion code. Pets can target appearing rikti when they are flagged as untargitable to players.
If you use assist on your pets, you can target them too!
(I think this might be considered an explot!)
I really should do something about this signature.
I see this as fully justified payback for Enemies seeing through Hide for no good reason and once aggroed, such as LB spawns on Bank missions.
Kill them, my minions! Keeell them allll!

Never had trouble targetting during a rikti invasion. I have the issue they cannot be attacked until their portal sequence is complete, usually some 2-3 secs between i can target em until i can actually attack em. Oddly enough, aoe will hit em tho.

Thats what I am talking about. During those few seconds players can't target them, but pets can, and players using assist on a pet can too.

its the same with snaptooth when he upgrades himself my zombies where attacking him as soon as he popped up out of the ground.
Thank god you're telling the devs this, so they can stop it. It's so horrible that our pets can do that.
Also please let them know we're getting way too many merits, too much xp, inf and all other powers really should be nerfed.
And when your boss wants to raise your salary, please, oh please let him know that you don't think you deserve the salary and he should keep the money and buy himself something nice.
Yes...
...That was sarcasm...
A bug is a bug, regardless of good or bad.
What, you going to say the respec bug that allowed Kheldians to get unlimited slots shouldn't have been reported? Extreme example, but you can't have double standards.

I find a different Kheldian bug useful. Hit level 20, grab White Dwarf and run a respec. Congratulations, now you can slot all the White Dwarf powers from level 1.
My Peacebringer has every single slot she's ever gotten in White Dwarf, a power you get at level 20.

Mmyes. Based on how long it's been there I'd assume it's either in "sure why not" territory, or just low on the fix priority list out of mercy due to Khelds being slot-starved in general. Impossible to know without an official word, of course.
