Did you find sources on that / bug report?
In my heart, I wasn't absolutely certain it was a bug due to the era. I recall playing a Dark Elf necromancer during Kunark and using Gather Shadows to enter the Mines of Malfunction to pick up level 12 spells while getting experience in Faydwer. Going off of memory, no decaying skeletons or rats or other mobs would path through the evil cleric / necromancer guild area, so I had no issues with buying or selling or using the gnome guild masters, the evil cleric guild masters included (they were indiff or better to me).

The issue here on P1999 is that we have spawn points and pathing that is absolutely not classic and I can't harp on the server staff too hard because it was a hell of a long time ago and we don't have archived info for much of that. Nearly all of the Kunark outdoor zones are incorrect, with Lake of Ill Omen and Swamp of No Hope being the big bones of contention with most players here (myself included). The Hole entrance earth elementals are spawned too close together and can't be single pulled like they could be on old retail. I could go on with other examples, like the Steamfont skeleton spawns being incorrect, etc. You get my point.

I don't absolutely know that the decaying skeletons on old retail weren't KOS to non gnomes because again, on old retail they weren't in the immediate area of the vendors.
