I just noticed this while playing by lvl 40 hunter (Aritimi) over the weekend. I was fighting some +2 to +4 mobs so my pet wasn't holding aggro as well as usual and I tended to draw aggro near the end of a fight. If I used FD near the end to force the mob back on my pet, I ended up getting only a fraction of the experience for the kill that I normally would have. Something like 29xp instead of around 250xp. I had to doule-check my combat log to be sure I had seen the popup numbers correctly.
It seems like FD not only wipes aggro, but also wipes all record of you having done anything at all to that monster. Its almost like you joined the batter mid-way through and are only getting experience for a partial kill. This is a real pain when trying to grind out some exp and not being able to use FD now unless I absolutely have to.
Has anyone else seen this? Is this old behavior or something new?
