HB, being the honest Abe that I am, I did include that. My goal isn't to make playing miserable for people.
I think this is a very simple fix to implement as well.
Thott's classic writings CONFIRMING that it was bards being the bug, again for great (hopefully) closing of this case:

The level 39 charm fixed charm kiting by adding a mana cost. So the bard could charm kite, but not forever. GZ was always a big proponent of kiting, and I am guessing this was the end solution: kiting was allowed, but limited in duration.
I don't know the whole internal story behind the 39 charm. I don't know if it was meant to scale up with bard level, or had a charm cap equal to the highest kunark charms, or what. It was added fairly close to the kunark release, after the kunark spells were done. It worked on mobs up to level 55, and maybe higher.
All it took was a few gods getting charmed by bards for the nerf hammer to come down, and bard charm was changed to cap at 51. 51 was definitely the best cap pre-kunark, because so many encounters were designed assuming that cap existed. Having a higher cap made some of the toughest encounters at the time (PoS, etc.) easy.
Of course now, enchanters can charm level mobs over level 51 easily.

^ aaand there's your explainins for BARD charming Sirran, NOT enchanters. Thott, like the guy who made that raid guide, isn't just guessing.. trust me.
Another raid guide (for making separate reports):
