That would have to be blooper because if not, then wesen would be attacking Nick simply on the basis that they detected he was a grimm without knowing it firsthand. When Trubel was in the hospital, the nurse woged and then checked Trubel's eyes (which were totally black), to ensure she was a grimm.

But she didn't woge the first time she looked and saw Nick and Hank watching her. There have been discussions to the effect that Adalind may not have been woging at Nick's grimm at all, but instead was woging in anger. The two men were leering at her. Or, she could have been woging as the result of a blush. She might have liked the two men leering at her. Or maybe she was having a remembered emotional response to whatever it was her friend told her. She happened to look up during her invisible woge and saw that Nick was a grimm and then reacted in kind. We don't really know, but it seems the intent was to have the wesen woge, and then see that Nick was a grimm by his black eyes.
We know so little about why wesen woge, it would make sense that the woge is done in response to more than just anger.

Given that, I don’t think Trubel had to do anything to cause a Wesen to attack. They attacked simply because they detected she was a Grimm.
Or they attacked her because in some way she provoked them. The series tends to portray Trubel as a poor little friendless teenager who did nothing to anyone but still managed to get, well, trouble in return. What the series failed to do is show the incorrigible teenage side of her. That's the side that knows how to live off the streets as well as knowing the various undergrounds to keep her out of reach of the law. Trubel lived in foster homes, mental institutions and no doubt a juvenile correctional facility or two. There's no way she'd be going through those without hooking up with kids her own age. It's likely that some of those kids would be wesen. Just because the parents have an issue with grimms doesn't mean the kids would, especially since they are kids and are not mature. Most of them are just looking for a good time.

And that presents a conundrum for the series because Monroe proved all of that wrong by simply calling out to Nick and inviting him in for a beer. Most of the wesen we've seen who've been a problem are those who are annoyed or angry that Nick's snooping around them. They woge in frustration or anger, make the immortal statement that they know he's a grimm, and then attack him or run away.
If there are that many species of wesen running around Portland, it's a safe bet to assume that most of them don't do the ridiculous invisible woge just to see if there are grimms out there.
The best way to frustrate a cyberbully is to ignore him.
