I've danced around in front of them to test this. (There are a few quest NPCs that work this way too.) However -- there's still a known problem related to pets, both Warlock and Hunter, where they will sometimes, for a reason I've not been able to figure out, either aggro on your pet or your pet aggros on them (even if in passive mode, so I think it's the first). So, if you're in a bifactional area like Booty Bay, put away your pets. (Totems may count too. I haven't tried them.)

It's the same on the PvP server. I'm not sure why Xanthix is seeing otherwise, but while they are red, they do not attack.
However, if someone has attacked them, they seem to realease a ton of hostile flying monsters. These ARE aggro on anyone cross faction, and maybe the wind rider himself becomes aggressive at this point too.
But as long as that hasn't happened, it's safe to stand right next to them.
