In my present playtrough i didnt activate Conqueror, i.e. no settlement prebuilt and i ignored Jammer.
At some point, as it happened to other people, Carla went berserkr in Sanctuary and started attacking Mama and then Sturges; Preston was my companion and he fighted Sturges too, the brothers were not in range to fight. When i attacked Sturges Preston left me so i reloaded, fast traveled to RR, summoned Carla with console and disabled her.
Out of curiosity I tried enabling her and changing companion to Dogmeat; immediatly Preston started shooting with Carla. I reloaded again and makde a mental note not to send Preston to RR when i change partner.
After some time having maxed Preston i switched to Piper that was in her office; when i left the office all Diamond city guards were shooting at poor Preston outiside Publik Occurrencies.
With preston partner i went more than once in Diamond City without problems but Preston alone is seen as an enemy so it isnt a Carla problem but a Preston, and his group, one.
 
Update:
Preston managed to reach Sanctuary, dunno how with all Diamond city shooting at him but he did.
I did a couple quests and then i started the one to take the Castle. After killing the queen he was sitting idle with no way to interact apart execute, according to viki it's a known FO4 bug so i traveled away to do a defend settlement quest and come back to the Castle to see Preston standing in good health and aggressive toward me. Instead of Castle i tried traveling to Sanctuary and here i found Sturges and the brothers, just them not the other settlers, aggressive toward me, in short the campaign is screwed. I will try to reload before the Castle but i'm not very positive

In the meantime, beetween Preston in Diamond and the castle i noticed the Quincy group shooting every pack brahmin coming to Sanctuary; Carla's one is still in RR with Carla standing still with AI disabled, so they were shooting my provisioners ones, not the provisioners, just the brahmins

The idea behind this campaign was to discover which of my mods interfered with the HUD making him malfunctioning, showing values unrelated with real ones. I'm using only sim settlements mods and cosmetic ones, disabling an reenabling them one at a time to find the problem.
Is it possible that Transfer Settlements could screw up the HUD? it looks very improbable but removing it the HUD was fine, enabling it i had the problems again.
 
Sorry for the delay on this, I fell so far behind on the bug reports that I had to just retreat from them for a while.

I just made some changes for the 4.0.4 patch to prevent randomly having Preston and the quincy group aggroing the player once they leave the Museum.

Per TS and the HUD, yes. We've run into that many times during RotC development, uncertain exactly what it's doing - but it does seem to be the cause.
