May be a deliberate thing or already reported but i was in the nether and whilst swinging my sword at a wither skeleton a zombie pigman walked right in the way, this of course (as expected) angered it and all the others in the area. After running to the safety of the overworld and continuing to work on various bits and pieces i decided to go back to the nether, i thought the pigmen would have calmed down... No, they came running at me, ok not an issue, run a hundred blocks or so away so they despawn... Found the pigmen over there were angry with me too! Run back to the overworld, play some more, log off the server and go to bed. Wake up in the morning, return to nether and get rushed by pigman, not an issue, in preperation for this i left everything in overworld... allow it to kill me, return to nether and get killed again...

I can report something very similar. Somehow a baby zombie pigman became agro'd on me, I ran around like mad trying to get pigmen to despawn, but as I entered new areas, new pigmen would spawn and they would spawn angry. I even tried digging into a mountain to get away from them, but then it spawned some in my tunnel and those were angry.
I also tried letting them kill me, but that did nothing to fix things.
Only way of fixing that works, is mcediting (removing all nearby entities). Might take a try or 2. Be aware that this method removes any other mob as well, including friendly ones.
The worst part about the pigmen getting angry is that they can become angry without necessarily attacking them directly. Killing something, which attacked a pigmen will aggro them. If they're killed by another fam they'll chase you down as well.
Seems like the pigman are seriously broken... Locked my game on hard, so these pigman are making the game unplayable. They're massing around my portals now lost quite some gear because of them...
