Iron golem becomes hostile mob

As I kill and run around my golem will suddenly leave my party, I can go back and find him and he will appear like a hostile mob. He will not move or attack and is quickly killed by my other summons.
This is a major inconvenience as I lose the item he was made of and need to make another iron golem out of an inferior item or risk loosing another good item/runeword each time this happens.
It happened to me 3 times in less than 1 hour and makes me not want to use that skill anymore.
I loved the iron golem as a kid and would always feel bad that i could not use him since he disappeared rather quickly before resurrected. When this was fixed I was exited to use the iron golem effectively for the first time ever. Now my disappointment is double as it appears the issue has only been changed not fixed.
I have lost a total of 3 golem with insight runeword and can not fathom making a golem out of anything better.

I have the same issue for me.
Today in 1 hour I’ve lost 2 golems in that way, that were made from Insight runeword.

I didn’t have that problem before today, though

The Golem just leave my team, and turn in to a hostile mob …

This happened twice to me last night (offline). I just opened a town portal, and my Iron Golem was with me nice and normal both times. The really odd thing was that the first time I did it, when I went back, my ‘old’ Iron Golem was still there just standing still as my summons eventually killed him.

This is now nearly a dozen times this happened (either him turning into the enemy or just no longer being there when I load the game). So now I just keep a few high-spec weapons that I will never use in my stash. I don’t plan on ever wasting any more runes on him unless they are low-level fire/cold/lightning/poison damage. He’s more a nice-to-have, but can’t rely on him to stick around now.
