I'm pretty sure were-things will still trigger traps even in their "friendly" form. So I'm pretty sure they're still enemies of your civilization as soon as you've found out they're a were-thing. So your dwarves will treat him as an enemy, even if he's listed as "friendly" and behaves in a friendly manner.

Interestingly, this does not seem to apply to members of your civilization. I had a were-something militia commander. He was friendly, and could be treated like a normal dwarf except during his "time of the month." I'm not sure what would have happened if he'd killed somebody as a were-thingy, though. The dwarves might not have been as accepting after that!

They do. Werebuffalo Human arrived at my very same fort earlier (as human). Woodcutters job cancelled. Steps on a trap, caged.

Apparently werebuffalos are building destroyers, tried destroying my artifact floodgate with artifact mechanism that is for access into my…err…arena. Which had gobbos (and a ‼gobbo‼, don't ask) serving as marksdwarf practice at the time. When it turned, goes up to my floodgate and just stops, correct distance for building destroying, and just stops. And stands there until a ☼«≡iron bolt≡»☼ tears up the brain.
