To reproduce:
  • Send your teleporting unit to get attacked.

  • Teleport away before dying
  • Die anyway as their projectiles hunt you down
Rev 1043.

what about projectiles that "track"? will those follow dudes as well? (personally, i think not)

This fix was recently reverted because it was dodgy and caused projectile launch failures.

Has now been ticketed, #293.

Good question! I guess if the teleporting unit got out of range, then no, but otherwise, yes?

i think that the "tracking" range should be twice the range of the attacker's attack range. its so that if the attacker fires at a target that is at the edge of its range, then the target cant just step out and not be hit.
