Played rogue through classic.. Not going to dig up citing, but I remember sneak/hiding down through LGuk to get my guise.. The gargoyles DEFINITELY saw hide, but no frog at all did; live or dead. Not even Frenzy/King/Ass/Sup/Magi - Although I do think the Magi's pet could see through it, peculiar enough.

I do also remember sneak/hide crawling to King camp in Seb a few times.. Never once was in danger of threat unless I somehow got completely fumbled and lost, and walked into Protector.. Juggs didn't see hide, but Prot definitely did.. and I remember doing that CR a few times.. ugh. painful memories.

Seem to recall borderline everything not seeing it, and very select named mobs catching you through it.. Signature-esque named mobs, pets, and Evil Eyes were about all that would catch you.

Here.. Shit, you're better off just not sneak/hiding.

(P.S. - I quit a month into Luclin.. Most of my gaming was server-relative time frame)

Having a Rogue since April 1999 and being a broken class at the time, I still remembered going down into Lower Guk to get a Guise myself. I also did CRs in Chardok, HS and Hate after Kunark Release.
