Bugs

 * When you are sometimes too close to your target in VATS, the Mysterious Stranger will appear directly on your target and will miss all his shots.
 * If the Mysterious Stranger appears and there is a wall or other obstacle between him and his target he will not take a shot. This will sometimes lead to you being stuck in VATS permanently.
 * If the enemy is near a cliff and a weapon is used that knocks them off it without killing them, the stranger may spawn in the air off the cliff and fall to his "death" as a result. As he is an "essential" character he will be rendered unconscious and the "Mysterious Stranger is Unconscious" message will appear on screen like any other essential NPC. Has shown up in VATS since so no permanent damage seems to occur.
 * It has occurred that the Mysterious Stranger does not disappear upon exiting VATS, allowing you to "speak" with him. His dialogue is simply a blank box that goes away almost immediately. You can target him in VATS, which, amusingly, can cause another Mysterious Stranger to appear and attack the first one. Upon exiting VATS, they will both disappear.
 * At rare moments the Mysterious Stranger will spawn in the ground and literally shoot nothing.
 * Sometimes, if a weapon is shot at close proximity (such as the MIRV) and he attempts to make a final shot, he will be crippled in the process.
