Summary (thanks to [Mod] Skylinerw)
It's because the zombie is attacking itself, funnily enough. Zombies all attack its offending target without losing focus, so by causing one zombie to attack another, the attacker starts attacking itself. You can confirm that in-game by modifying the attackDamage attribute of the zombie hitting itself.
