Bug or feature?

Either Mirri is annoyed with Naaniel in Murbruk or there is a bug here.
Doing The Staff of Magnus quest I was talking to Captain Sarandil and next to him this happened:


My bet is that Mirri is really annoyed with Naaneil and thus repeating her every word...

How many more women are Mirri annoyed at in eso?

I just tried this with another char that had Bastian but it did not work.
My char was Nord so she was not on the 'The Staff of Magnus' quest.

Mofasa

Ok, I just tried it wit another Mirri with another char that had not done the 'Staff of Magnus' quest.
...and I got this result...



Here is a map over the location of Naaneil in Marbruk in eastern Greenshade, if you want to test this your self.

It's a bug present in several other quests, too, e.g., the Thieves Guild "Forever Hold Your Peace". In fact, it breaks progress there, one of the quest phases not advancing as a result of a companion being out (and echoing/intercepting parts of the dialog). Moreover, it works the same way even if you have not a companion, but e.g., warden's bear summon out.
