While you can fiddle around with death variables, I've found that a good work around is to keep several copies of Power Word Kill memorized. That way, if the mob's hp goes under 60 it is instantly killed via a death effect. Another way to deal with the unkillable mobs is to have Shapeshift and Timestop memorized. Shapeshift, cast time stop, turn into mind flayer and INT drain the mob to death. This also bypasses the hitpoints of the mob so you don't have to worry about not being able to deal the last few points of damage. Haer'Dalis's Dex draining swords also work, as does the archer's strength draining shot. Any method by which you can drain a target's stat to zero will work.
Hope these suggestions are helpful.
Heh, I had that bug with Aba too. I had used the wish double-length timestop+IA to unload a tremendous amount of magical doom on him at once (I managed to ONE-SHOT several other tough enemies with this too).
