So I've noticed two issues with monster DS when they turtle:
First issue is when I amputate a limb of a shelfae, even if it's a leg and they fall, their DS goes up as if they were immediately placed into stance defensive -- even though they were stunned:

AS: +102 vs DS: +32 with AvD: +30 + d100 roll: +38 = +138
... and hit for 49 points of damage!
Right leg ripped from socket at the knee!
A shelfae soldier screams and falls to the ground grasping its mangled right leg!
The shelfae soldier is stunned!

A clean miss.
Roundtime: 6 sec.
The other issue I've seen is when a monster decides to turtle up for a bit, but then later starts swinging at me again. I don't have a log of that one, but it goes something like this:
Monster attacks at full AS, let's say 100.
I attack back, its DS is around 50. I injure it.
Monster's next action is the turtling (i.e. not swinging).
I attack again, DS is now about 150.
Monster attacks, AS at 100 (or maybe 90 because I damaged it slightly), but definitely full offensive AS.
I immediate attack back, but the DS is still 150.
I've seen this across a multitude of different monsters, and it's not spells or the room changing, and it's definitely repeatable -- it happens without fail whenever a monster turtles and then starts swinging again.
Edit: here's a log:

Crushing blow to head closes that eye for good.
