Anmalice interrupting auto-explore when wielded by pet (Worm That Walks)

[Kain Yusanagi]

Since Worm That Walks has such a massive penalty to its damage output (-60% all) it usually is used as a proc engine instead, giving it weapons that it can activate on hit effects with to debilitate and debuff. When I picked up Anmalice, I thought it'd be perfect for it, since it "Torments target with many mental effects", and it does work pretty darn great! ...except for the fact that it keeps interrupting auto-explore because the stupid thing keeps eyeing me, even though my WtW most definitely isn't hitting me! Really don't think that it should be activating on me, let alone interrupting auto-explore when it does so. Side note, the debuff says it reduces my mental save by 5, and increases my mindpower by... 0? Is that normal, or is it because it's on my WtW? I thought it'd be a higher powered debuff/buff.

Anmalice is definitely bugged in more ways than one.
Adding to the above, the bug described in viewtopic.php?f=69&t=47277 still persists in 1.7.6. Essentially, on any map, even global map, at least on main and orc campaigns, all characters constantly get hit with "Anmalice focuses its mind-piercing eye on" debuff (while obviously Anmalice is nowhere around in that run). Happens when you stay in certain areas on a map e.g. bottom left. I believe it is caused by having another character in the saves with the sword equipped - as soon as I dug out one of my previous saves and took it off from that char, the bug went away.
