Targeting Cursor for Pet Commands

When playing SMN and using Blood Pacts that target the enemy, the cursor always appears red even though I am within the range, and able to activate the abilities.

Steps:

1. Whilst fighting in Flux 11 of WoE, I assaulted Ifrit with a macro.
2. Then manually selected a Blood Pact: Rage from the menu, using Ctrl B to open the pet commands.
3. Selected Meteor Strike from the menu and presser Enter.
4. The targeting cursor appeared above the mob that I wanted to use the BP on, but it was red, even though I was still the same distance away that I was when I used Assault.
5. I tried to use the BP anyway, and it activated, despite the cursor showing that I was too far away.
6. Obviously a problem with the cursor for pet abilities. Does it think that I need to be within the range that Ifrit needs to be from the mob to hit it with the BP move, perhaps?
