Area and Coordinates: Western Thanalan, Nophica's Wells (18, 35)
Party or Solo: Solo
NPC Name: None
Monster Name: Lightning Elemental
In-Game Time: 21:44
Steps:
1. Got last faded Necrologos page during Necrologos: Levinshower guildleve.
2. 2 Lightning Elementals are summoned forth and they begin to attack me.
3. Both monsters were showing green non-active icon and rank (Enemy active and non-active icons enabled, of course).

I guess they must show red active icon, am I wrong?

I think lightning elementals are not normally aggressive, which is why they show the green icon. However, nonaggressive mobs can spawn and spontaneously attack as part of a leve. Some examples are the Ravenous Nannygoats (name?) at the end of Dodos and Popotoes (I think) and the Longclaw Galagos summoned from each completed necrologos in Necrologos: Amongst Leaves Most Green, both also at Nophica's Wells.

Every monster that "Suddenly Appears" attacks you when it appears whether it is hostile or not. If you were to run away from it letting it return to its territory, then walk up and dance with it, it will not attack you.

So I guess this is not a bug and working as intended...
My fault, it was just a matter of "Hey! Lightning Elementals attacking me with a green icon!?", I didn't even think about REDace0 examples. Thanks both of you for pointing that out (msp?).
To moderators, feel free to delete/close the post if it's needed and keep the good workin' @ forums ^0^/
