When all three bosses are dead and the final seal is opened, all of the monsters in the Chaos Sanctuary die--or do they?

Some of the monsters were Converted (Paladin skill Conversion or Assassin/item-proc skill Mind Blast). Judging by how long Diablo took to kill the foul betrayers I'd say he wasn't getting the act boss vs. player minions bonus damage multiplier either.
Conversion is a known problem in Baal's Throne room (can mess up his minion batch spawning logic). I would not be surprised if Conversion could perform tricks in the Den of Evil as well (if so, one has to wonder if eight Paladins with good Conversion % might be able to get the Den herded and simultaneously handslap convert all the heathen?).
