Mobs resurrect infinitely, on their own

Met some unkillable enemies. Both in Dreadnought and in Dreadnought Vanguard.

About 4 enemies just re-spawned over and over again no matter how many times I killed them on Vanguard, I managed to kill all 4 at the same time several times so they didn't resurrect each other (correctly at least) and no other enemies around who resurrected them. Eventually managed to just run away from them.

Next day the same happened in Dreadnought Vanguard, I didn't manage to run away from them without dying and just reset the level, but managed to see their power, yellow text saying Life Regeneration, I THINK it was that, at least it wasn't Resurrection.

Based on that I believe that power is bugged (even if I don't know if they had that power the first time). Either that they keep regenerating life after they die, or that the power should be named Self-Resurrection or something along those lines and get nerfed (like a limit on how many times when it's self-resurrection and not 3rd party resurrection like a necromancer).


edit: Version PoE2 0.1.0d (happened 14th and 15th december).

PC/Windows version (steam), by the way.
I also encountered that in Mawdun Quarry (Act 2) on day 1 and then never again, but it was quite odd.

They didn't have "resurrecting" affixes either.
I've had this happen as well also on Dreadnaught. Had it happen twice in a row, I died the first time to a pack of them where they would die, then just revive with about 1 second. Then a second time later on after I died. Tried exploding the corpse after they died but it didn't make a difference.

I also found them to have yellow text stating "Regenerates Life" with "Minion" as well. It was the Fairdun Infantry both times so far.

I tried dragging one extremely far away to see if it would stay dead far away from some revival source or something but it never did. I can't find a way to make it stay dead and I can't progress where I was because there is a pack of mobs that are just instantly reviving. It feels like my only option here is to just die and hope I don't encounter more before the next checkpoint.
Same just happened to me in the Waterways with the little red guys 3 would just infinitely respawn I was barely able to teleport out without dying

Just encountered this... uploaded a video for definitive proof.
No bug here.

You can see it's minion tagged monster. There's rare monster modifier that resurrects their minions.
no revive tag, not even a rare mob near by, 4 mob constantly revive in apex of filth. definitely a bug.
This is definitely still an issue and I've seen it present in two different ways this past week.

1) Act 2 Normal - Scarab beetles constantly resurrecting. The elite controller was dead, but the resurrection mechanic persisted infinitely on ~3 of the total pack. I tested portaling out and back in did not resolve the issue. They actually beelined for me even when I was very far away.

2) Act 3 Normal - In the canals, one of the little peon lizards became completely untargettable by me (not even a health bar on it), but it was able to attack me and followed me from the beginning of the map to the end. Identical to the behavior seen in this vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrDCwKBOIi8

Strange since this is my 4th character through the campaign and I've never run into this before this week.
