Some more input on mob leashing:

"Long ago Kunark mobs did this while mobs in vanilla zones did not. It was possible to hold a long range bow and hit monsters outside of aggro range in Kunark. At some point I think it became the standard but I'd have to check again. Not aware of specific changes made."

Looks like everyone / most people agree on the fact that vanilla zones should not have leashing, Kunark zones should, and Velious - unsure.
I recall a dev telling me once at a fanfaire that mobs in vanilla did have a lazy aggro radius, but that it was so big that it was rarely if ever noticed by players in most situations.

Its not evidence, but its a specific conversation I recall with someone that would have been in the know on this stuff.
