I just tested this in wizmode and looked in the code, it looks like both liches have see invisible.

Save crashes on load for me, unfortunately.

What do you mean by they "don't see invisible"? See invisible isn't listed in their description, they don't act like they can see you when you're invisible, or what?

Although the ancient liches behind the grates had the "see invisible" in their description, they were in fact unable to do so. I was able to invisible-stab both of them. After killing the first one my invisibility timed out, and immediately the second one was able to see me; I turned invisible again, and the ALich got the orange backdrop of "awake, cant see you due to invisibility".

I suspect this might have to do with their being ghost_demons; the irreproducibility might be because ghost_demon::see_invis is uninitialised.

It's been pointed out that liches probably do not need to be ghost_demons, nor spellforged servitors.

For what it's worth, there's a related bug for player ghosts, last I checked; they still display the "stabbable" icon when you're invisible, even though they can see you just fine.

Should be fixed by https://github.com/crawl-ref/crawl-ref/commit/c0f6fd7959. [^]
