Just tested it up with a fresh install of FTB Unleashed, the steps to reproduce are:

1. place a disk drive and insert a disk on it.
2. use a computer/turtle to write the following script to /disk/startup :

while true do
	turtle.attack()
end
3. remove said computer/turtle and place a melee turtle next to the disk drive.
4. stand up in front of the turtle.
Expected result: being attacked by the turtle
Actual result: nothing
5. right click the turtle to open up the gui.
Result: you start being attacked.

Split into new topic.

When posting bugs, always be sure you can reproduce them on the latest version.

This is not a bug. It is long-standing normal behavior. No computer or turtle will boot immediately upon being placed. If you need a placed turtle or computer booted without player interaction, use another computer or turtle and the turnOn peripheral method to boot it.
