Yeah, I just ran into this to. Quite irritating until you figure out what's going on and why they're doing it.

In essence, the game is still thinking that all of the thieves are hiding in shadows and that they can't be seen, even though you've got them right there in front of you. Didn't seem to unfreeze them until they attacked, thus "revealing" them to yoru party so they could be seen to be attacked. I found 2 things that worked:

1. Area spells, like fireballs, spike stones, etc, worked well, killing them where they stood while they were still frozen.

2. Marching my paladin with the natural -11 AC up next to them and waiting for them to attempt an attack (all but one of them missed), thus "revealing" the theif and allowing me to attack with impunity. This actually turned out to be the more effective method when all was done, since it didn't waste spells, didn't hurt, just took a little more time.
