I know that barbarians are supposed to be more of a nuisance (for the player) now but I just watched as a brute sat next to Washington's warrior on a peninsula that I was blocking for 6 turns while my unit healed and neither bothered the other. I've also seen barbarian brutes ignore enemy setters and beeline towards my own pikers and heard of others having similar problems. Is this working as intended or is it a bug?
Are barbarians supposed to ignore AI units from major civs?

If the barb AI knows about both the players & and the AIs combat bonuses against the barbs, then the barb AI behavior is correct. (AI combat bonus against the barbs is significantly higher at all levels than the human vs the barbs.)
The good news is that the barbs are now allowed to enter the AIs territory on turn 1; up until BNW the barbs weren't even allowed to enter major AI's territory until turn 60.
