This seems to correspond with levels in which I take out the previous ones with fireballs. Does anyone know if they really have cowardice programmed in as conditional AI?

When you are turning around, they are coming back. Reminds of the Boo Hoo’s.
However, with this knowledge in mind, the underwater stages – especially in the lost levels – become much easier.

Must be important if they didn’t cut it down to build that fence.
