Having started an enchanter alt, I've noticed a bit of this, too. I gained aggro way more easily than others in my group. I noticed something else that I thought was a bit odd. I'm not sure how this was in classic, as I never had an enchanter then, but I was not only gaining a ton of aggro from spells, but I was gaining aggro from spell RESISTS.
I cast my choke spell on a mob and had it resisted, so I cast again. The spell was again resisted. However, at this point, with me having done no damage at all to the mob (nor having debuffed, mezed, hit it with anything!) the mob turned on me and attacked... and it took several rounds for the group to pull aggro away. And all this with me having done NOTHING to harm the mob.
This seemed more than a bit odd. Addmitedly, this was a low level EC orc group so I don't know if this happens at highter levels, but it seemed quite odd to gain aggro from two resisted spells.

Playing a wiz on '99 and having played one up through lvl 70 or some shit on live, my experience shows this working as normal. I actually think resists generate more agro than damaged nukes, through several years of testing.
