From what I understand (and have tested with other similar powers) any debuff proc causes aggro.
When lvl'ing up my TA/A defender, I had the chance for tohit debuff proc in Flashing (Blinding?) Arrow. It always caused mobs to aggro on to me even though the power itself shouldn't cause aggro.
I mentioned this once while on a team and a person said, "you have a proc in it?" I did and then took it out next respec and never had an issue again.
So for my Mind/Emp. Controller; he has 0 interface powers made/crafted because...no point...he was made to put AVs to sleep (for STF/etc)...so...yeah...it kind of stinks 
Edit: Which is somewhat silly because if you use an AoE sleep power (or any sleep power) and then debuff them with powers like Fulcrum Shift, Siphon Speed, etc....they don't 'wake up' from it....something with the proc that makes them aggro on to you.

I'm not sure this is how it works. Granted, I've not tested anything, but the description of the interface slot says it '[grants] a chance of effect to most of your damaging attacks'. It would seem that the proc probably won't affect powers that don't do damage... (i.e. Flash Arrow, Mass Hypnosis, Mass Confuse, etc.)|

Like I said, I've never tested this, but when I get home tonight, I probably could. I have an Elec Dom with Synaptic Overload with an interface enhancement. I imagine Mind dom's would work similarly...
So, after a quick test, I can say that the Interface proc does not cause Synaptic Overload to lose it's aggro free qualities. (I'm assuming because it will never fire) Other powers would have to be tested to be sure, but I would imagine the interface proc would do the same for other non-aggro powers.
Wyatt is correct. The interface powers won't proc in powers that don't cause damage, meaning Confuse, Mass Hypnosis, and Mass Confusion will all remain aggro free. The reason that reactive is avoided is due to the damage in Mesmerize where it will proc and wake any target you just put to sleep.

Hmm, strange...I would have thought the Incarnate powers/proc would act like any other proc in the power. Maybe it's been changed since I've played my TA/A

Interface does 'work' like othe procs in the way that it only works in powers that do damage. (Like the aoe proc only working in an aoe, ranged in ranged, etc). Just in this case the 'slotting requirement' if you will is if the power does damage.
Like most everyone else, my only experience with interface is with reactive. Since reactive (dot) may be a bad thing for sleep powers, what other interface (not reactive) should a mind dom go with?
