Summary0006600: Ambush by harmless noble when reclaiming ruin
DescriptionWhen I reclaimed a world-genned ruin I was ambushed by a lone baron consort ("An Ambush! Curse them!"). While labelled as hostile in the units screen, the baron consort made no attempt to attack my dwarves. The legends mode info for the noble is in no way out of the ordinary.
Steps To ReproduceReclaim a world-genned ruin, send dwarves near the trading depot (maybe?), there maybe a stealthy noble waiting to ambush your dwarves.
Additional InformationThere were soldiers loitering around the surface entrance to the ruin. They were not hostile and labelled as visiting in the units screen. In the ruins I tried to reproduce this bug in there were no such soldiers.

Seconding this. 40.04. The message I got was different though: "An ambush! Drive them out!"

A save uploaded to http://dffd.wimbli.com/ [^] would be useful.

Uploaded a 40.05 save with the same issue, except it's a full fort population of about 60 dwarves, a few humans, and a dozen goblin nobles: http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=9265 [^]
