Now I havn't killed too many off'em so I'm still Dubious, so can't tell if its just a message or you really DO take a hit.

Yep, this bug has been targeted a few times now since October but has yet to be fixed. In 1999, hunting South Karana aviaks did not yield a faction hit.

I killed hundreds in my late teens and early 20s in that first summer of EQ and never became KoS. No faction message was ever given, and I was continuously conning 'dubious'.

Keep in mind though, that the KFC acronym is often considered to be tied to Karnors, when this is definitely only an SK aviak issue.
