After reading the summon spell
It attacks your opponents to the best of its ability. If you can communicate with the creature, you can direct it not to attack, to attack particular enemies, or to perform other actions as you command.
Also after rechecking the field guide the ONLY time PVP is allowed is due to mind controlling affects.
So while in a homebrew campaign i would definatly include allies as potential targets if the command were ambiguos (The spell does also state you can give it other commands which would in theory overide its base behaviour of attack enemies).
Summoning a creatre is not a mind controlling affect so i would rule that it could not attack a PC intentionaly or Unintentialy (unless it was controlled by a spell after the summoning).
I think that the concept of the "CLOSEST" enemy makes a lot of sense and if i have a similar situation in future I think i will rule that in a similar scenario it would attack the closest ENEMY that meets the critera (Weather that was the PC's intention or not).
Kind of a mix of the literal command, the creatures instinct, and anti PVP.
Thanks for the input!
