This seems to happen more regularly when you're fighting a dragon outside of the usual setting. It will attack a few times and then fly offscreen, disappearing into the distance and apparently losing hostility to the player.

Always hostile, but not always attacking the player, and flies very far away from player and freezes in mid-air until the player walks near enough to re-activate it.
Confirmed for 1.5.1 on Linux.
Yeah, that's the trouble - it's not quite hostile enough, in that it sometimes makes such unnecessarily wide sweeps that it loses sight or interest in attacking the player most likely because that chunk isn't "active" anymore.
Often this results in the boss health bar disappearing as well.
Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version 1.7.2 / Launcher version 1.3.4 ? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.

Well, the Ender Dragon is always hostile ?
Never seen non hostile dragons.
