I don't think they can. The psychological effect of the image is too great.
On the other hand, could a salamander, who knows he's immune to most weapons, choose to ignore engagement? I reckon I'd say no for the same reason.
The alternative would be a free hit, of course, but then we'd need a reason why an unarmed and puny goblin, who's just as harmless to a man wearing leather armor (aside from double or triple damage) can't be ignored. Best to keep it simple. You're engaged unless there's an overwhelmingly good reason the figure isn't dangerous -- one your character knows.
