I can confirm this. In my case the person that releases the goblin was a hunter and attacked first.

I think there is more to it then just the cages. I haven't any invaders yet but I did have 1 dwarf go berserk (he was walled in for safety, hadn't attacked anyone). Went to create a squad of marksdwarves to put him down and they immediately started murdering the nearest dwarves. No cages with enemies yet but there were some pets purchased from a merchant. However, it appears that every dwarf was a target of the newly formed squad. In fact the first one attacked was an infant.

While playing around with the bug, I noticed two interesting things:
1) When the released enemy is killed, all fighting stops.
2) Those who were attacked do not appear to retaliate against their attackers.
