Speaking as a Tank, you usually don't actually get hate (barring something VERY wrong happening) but what happens is that the MT is a PLD and uses Shield Swipe.

The Pacify effect causes issues with the Bone Dragon's AI - namely the "Cast a ranged AoE ground patch on a random target" ability. The dragon can't use the ranged ability due to being pacified, but it still knows that it should be attempting to attack that randomly-picked target... so the result is that the dragon happily ignores the MT and runs away to use a melee autoattack on someone halfway across the map. The MT actually still has hate, and the dragon will run back to them a few seconds later... but to someone not keeping a close eye on the hate display it looks just like sudden aggro loss.

Also, the more conscientious CT healers amongst you might want to take a quick glance over this - The bone dragon fight has a particularly nasty mechanic to watch out for in the last tanking phase called "Chaos Breath". (the TL;DR version is that the MT will suddenly take an amount equal to 70% of their current maximum HP shortly after you see the boss cast Evil Eye, so be sure to get them well topped up. Happens once every 30 seconds on that phase!)
