Attacking wild Wolves with any kind of projectiles (Arrows, Snowballs, Potions) will cause any nearby tamed Wolves to attack their owner.
What I expected to happen was:
Only wild wolves to become hostile towards me.
What actually happened was:
Not only the wild wolves became hostile towards me, but also my own wolf started attacking me.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Tame a wolf.
2. Spawn a wild wolf.
3. Attack the wild wolf with any kind of projectiles.
4. Make sure the wild wolf won't hit you or else the tamed wolf will start attacking the wild one.
Notes:
if you melee the wild wolf, then the tamed wolf will attack the wild one.
attacking your own tamed wolf in vicinity of wild wolves: wild wolves are disinterested, your own wolf is still friendly

Cannot reproduce.
If I do it as described, the wild wolf attacks me, then the tamed wolves attack the wild wolf until his death.
@Chris Dusto: Nothing, neither meleeing your tamed wolf nor attacking with projectiles, wild wolves are disinterested.Edit: Your own wolf stays friendly aswell.
@Kumasasa: It works in creative aswell: After attacking the wild wolf your tamed wolf will start jumping at you and always try to be as close to you as possible. If you then change to survival you're going to take damage. (might work better this way as the wild wolf will be disinterested after a while since you attacked him in creative.) Or just make sure the wild wolf won't attack you, this changes the "mind" of the tamed wolf to attack the wild one.
I personally think this should be left in as a feature, if it is a bug. Kind of like your pets getting angry at you for attacking their kin from a distance.
