Thanks for making fun of me 
But its true that I played maybe 500 or more BT games and beleave me, i know the creep behavior quiet well.
If you lost your creeps the enemy creeps start to fire at you - logic, because there are no other targets.
But..., if you start to retreat and a next wave of your creeps come, the enemy creeps really change the target back to the friendly force creeps and you can stop your short retreat. (this should be a standard behavior for every pro or even medium Bt gamer) Sometimes it needs time and maybe you get another shot from the artillery or the zeppelin. But at least then you should not be the target till the new creeps are killed.
I experienced it only that game to be attacked from the whole wave even if my creeps stand next to me (not behind).
Maybe it has something to do with the tower, like it is build now.
The tower of the scout for example, is attacked to 100% from the enemy towers if you start to build it, but instantly is ignored by the Cannon tower when completed if there are enemy force creeps in range. I think that aggresive attacking of the building tower could have spread over to me, as i might be the builder who should be killed, but didnt see that within the last 10 games.
Try to build a tower near to the enemy cannon towers in mid ynd you will see, that i am right. Its a good chance to protect your creeps to spread enemy long range fire, but I hate to loose my tower extremely fast through that.
maybe its the following scenario: you go infront of the enemy towers with creep support. You start to build a tower, which is out of range of the cannon towers, but you as the the builder of the tower are now attacked (being in range), because your watch tower is out of range. That priority of attacking is included in warcraft I think and only in that special case maybes that problem occurs)

y - there were no player controlled creeps in that early game state. (no factories or troop command - thats why the force killed me so often without enemy Tanks attack)
