I've never seen it happen myself prior to the echo buff, no idea how it is nowadays with echo. However, it is a way to ensure you're on top of the hate list for whatever strange obscure magic may occur. One way I can think of not to get second on the hate list would be because the black mage* is second in the list as result from AoEing with Twintania in it, phase is pushed and the OT is subjected for the (first) conflag. Chances for this to happen is low, but the odds are still there. Provoking Twintania when she comes down from the divebombs doesn't really cause any issues or complicates the mechanics. Rather, it ensures the OT is second on the list.

*Or any other class for that matter. For example: A monk or dragoon ignoring the small dragons and simply letting the casters handle it.
