I leave the first room, he's right there. I find a tesla coil, he's right there. I find SCP-970, he's right there.
I find a tunnel, he's right there.
I die, he's in the loading screen.

Edit: Just did a full playthrough on a livestream. I saw SCP-173 twice.

I think that is what happens when " Aggressive NPCs " is selected during the Difficulty Options.

It was probably something that Regalis revved up for the new Difficulties. I think it's normal.

The experience of having it's "floppy disk" ripped off and fed to 682, now start ignoring it.

This is almost a bug in itself.
He only spawns at scripted events (like the power failure hallway in HCZ) and rarely pops up in chance-based spawns.
