I've definitely bugged out and haven't been able to "see" people in zone. It's super annoying when they're grouped with me - looks like they're out of zone yet they're standing right next to me and I can't interact with them in a normal group way (buffing healing etc). Gotta camp out to fix that shit.
As far as the "unseen hand", perhaps you were bugged, and this "unseen hand" message is the default message that is displayed by the server when something dies from damage from a person that isn't registering on your client. So, maybe, the guy was bugged out and not displaying in zone yet standing there the whole time, and dropped a massive nuke on it or something that killed it but since your client was all like lolhesnothere it just displayed a "well something killed it" message.
