Horizons NPC bounty hunter attacks query

This is a query rather than a criticism, and I'm aware that its probably been asked 100 times, or variations thereof, so I'm just looking for information.

Just noticed tonight every bounty hunter has been taking me on in res zones. Police aren't interested. There is a system bounty, though it isn't directly neighbouring. There are no commodities in my hold. Just trying to work out why everyone was attacking me with the line about having exciting stuff in my hold when there was none. I was eventually wiped out in a High Res zone by 3 clippers who believed I had a massive score in my hold, where I had none.

Is this a bug? Is it the system bounty some distance away? If so, why they all NPC chatting scoring items that don't exist? Mildly irritated that it did become game changing because everyone with guns bar the police I met was treating me in a way that didn't make sense to my read-outs.
 
I'm pretty sure that is a bug. The NPC's have been fiddled with by FD a few times and it could be related to NPC's attacking me to just kill for no reason.
 
Collector limpets count as cargo. Did you have any?

No limpets. Empty cargo hold. Double checked. Thanks, I'll probably raise it as a bug and see what they say. It's not so much the relatively small loss, but the frustration that I may have been victim of a bug that really damaged the gameplay mechanic.
