Is it? Well, and since when monsters don't attack dead things? Against some animals it helps to pretend you are dead, against some it does not help. Neither monster is able to detect heart beat? I belive some monsters would have no problem to detect life spark in the character and act accordingly.
Also about "pettiness" etc. I think that if other PCs left one of them dying, do not try to stabilize it or protect it, because they produce clearly metagame explanation like "he has three rounds" than isn't that petty as well? If they don't care about one of them, why shouldn't the foes use the advantage and strike deep and hard.
This is not sport or game... (I mean in-game). It is serious life or dead fight. And I as an enemy will and should do whatever to hinder and stop PCs. The risk of dead for not protecting each other is part of it.
