[0.17.15] Biters sometimes become frozen when spawning a new nest

It happened during a long gameplay, unfortunately I did not keep the savefile of the exact moment, however, I recorded a video just to be able to report it. Excuse me if the bug is already reported or known about (or perhaps it's the normal behavior? which would be kind of odd).
What do I mean with frozen? They don't move (even rotate) or attack the player, watch the video for reference, also it is important to mention that I have seen this in my gameplay more than once, although it is not frequent.
I am unsure about the "spawning a new nest" part, if they are not doing that please tell me and I will remove that piece from the title, I just assumed that because it's an small group which is kept together.

Not much I can do without a save. If you catch it again, post the save please.

I will try to replicate it and keep the save then, hopefully I can get it.

Well, they're actually "getting busy", but showing that wouldn't be kid-friendly !

Looks like they were set to never be distracted,
This is fixed for the next release

They will stop beelining through defences also? They kinda do that now and it might be an interesting behavior.

Are you speaking to the behavior described in the following?

Yep thats what I mean. It's hard to tell if it's good or bad - but it made things more interesting.
If biters will get distracted by attacks then one turret shot gets whole group to attack defences.

Yeah it's interesting. I wasn't sure if this was an intentional change or not.

Yes, they will stop beelining through things
