Why does (vampire) feeding and blade of woe constantly put me in combat?

If I am not caught in the act and can get a clean kill, I don't think I should be put in an seemingly never-ending loop of combat music. This is pretty much all I hear any time I go thieving now. Why am I in combat? The vibe of chaotic music isn't what I want to hear while "sneaking" around. Not while reading, exploring, and trying to be quiet. Has it always been like this? I don't remember it always being like this, that is, always remaining in combat after assassinating people.

For me, the game does this on occasion where it's like you killed something too quickly and the music didn't trigger until after the target was dead. So it keeps playing until I kill something else.
