Shivering Isles NPCs invade Imperial City!

Whilst minding my own business as a sister of the Dark Brotherhood, I popped into the Tiber Septim Hotel in the Imperial City to "have a chat" with Faelian, and the lobby is in turmoil with a Dark Seducer Archer, Dark Seducer Warrior and a Priest of Order (who refuses to stay dead, as they do) battering the hell out of the patrons of said establishment.
I haven't yet gone through the "strange door" for Shivering Isles, and have found nothing online about this happening. I've reloaded a couple of times from a point before entering the hotel, and the same thing happens each time.
Anyone else had a similar event, and how did you get round it?

Playing 5th Anniversary edition on PS3

The PS3 version is the most broken version of the game. I haven't seen that specific issue, although there are tons of bugs with Shivering Isles NPCs traveling through. Could you take a screenshot and share it?

I would attach an image if I could understand how to do so, quickly & easily (no "attachment" function on this forum). The screenshot won't show anything other than a picture of what I've described, anyway.
Just wondered if this had happened to anyone else

This is a known problem with the Tiber Septim Hotel.

It's apparently the dumping ground for any NPC or creature whose cell has disappeared.
I have got a Preist of Order and 3 Dark Seducers in the Hotel. I am playing on PS3 Goty Edition. That is annoying because i cannot kill him and he kills other hotel guests.
I've never seen it myself.
No sign of a fix on that talk page either... :(

At least I know why it's happened, so I'll wait a bit and meet Faelian outside the hotel, and I shall never enter that hotel again! Cheers Lord Timster!
