Banner Bearer Immobilize Is Bugged In PvP

The Immobilize affix (e.g. cleanses and prevents Snares/Immobilizes) is bugged on Live and does not actually prevent them.
This was present on the PTS as well, where the Immobilize affix would fail to grant immunity if the Banner was activated before a combat instance began (in that case, a duel). But it would be granted if the Banner was activated after the combat instance had already began.
However, last night I played in Cyro with the Immobilize affix on and I was catching Immobilize after Immobilize while the Banner was active. I would toggle the Banner on and off and it would cleanse my current Immobilize but inevitably I would catch additional Immobilizes soon afterward.
Contrast this to solo PvE where I tanked mobs in Spellscar for twenty minutes without catching any Snares or Immobilizes. And those enemies spam them. So the affix was working in that scenario. And this was with activating the Banner prior to combat as well as activating it during combat. So the issue present in duels was not present in that sample.
Suffice to say... something is not working as intended with this affix. Overall, Banner is extremely buggy across several different affixes.
Ideas:
1. There is a bugged interaction with Battle Spirit (I have only had this affix fail during PvP, either duels or group play in Cyro)
2. There is a bugged interaction with other players entering the Banner radius (a la the currently recognize Arcanist class mastery bug)
Both of those could be true. But either way, the Immobilize affix is NOT working consistently and is NOT a reliable means of preventing Snares/Immobilizes in PvP.

✭✭✭✭✭Update on the status of this bug:
You still get Immobilized while wearing Banner Bearer w/ Immobilize affix in PvP scenarios. I've been raiding with it in Cyrodiil for the last week and have two observations:
1. When I was the only one in my group using Banner Bearer... I experienced zero Immobilizes over the course of two, 3-hour raids. Could be dumb luck, of course.
2. When there were OTHERS using Banner Bearer... I experienced Immobilizes that seemed to roughly scale with the number of other Banner Bearer users (e.g. more Banner Bearer -> more Immobilizes/my own Banner Bearer failures).
So perhaps there is some sort of bad interaction with Banner Bearer Immobilize users entering each other's radii that can break the protection offered by the affix?
OTHER BUGS:
1. I want to +1 to the Cavalier's Charge affix NOT properly computing its bonus Weapon Damage from Movement Speed. This affix completely DOES NOT WORK and needs to be investigated/fixed ASAP.
2. The Nightblade Class Script will automatically dismount the user if they attempt to mount a horse with it. This isn't game-breaking but it IS annoying and effectively rules that affix out of being used in Cyrodiil.
Is it possible to get an acknowledgement that these issues are known/being investigated @ZOS_Kevin1
