A little old but I am glad I found this and somewhat fresh. This is exactly what I was going to post; I could not state it more clearly myself.
The bizarre thing is if you attempt to do this; their behavior is very eradic. Currently when you a 'swarm' of mobs with a pet, only the one being attacked will engage. However, if you run the mobs from the swarm between the two in conflict, anything can happened. By this I mean, there's a good chance only ONE mob from your swarm will assist the mob engaged with my charm pet. Other times, a significant portion of the swarm with assist. Rarely, the ENTIRE swarm will engage your pet; this is how is should be.
I couldn't find any consistency in what made the swarms behave this way whether it was pathing, distance, placement, etc. More variables than I know, I'm sure.
