Yep, the AI doesn't take into account the fact that Lightning Bolt is an incredibly lethal spell in close quarters. Humans can take the precaution of always standing a great distance away from the target of a LB spell, and thus ensure that they won't get hit by the rebound, but the AI simply isn't complex enough to know that casting LB indoors contains a very high random chance of instant death.
