Speed Buffs not working on horses anymore

Now, I don't like to be negative and I've seen some nice changes in the new patch already, but there seems to be problem with speed buffs, now, not being applied properly to your character anymore when they're mounted.

I've written down the following speed values which I got from the RavSpeed Add-on prior to the patch 1.2.3 and after it was released (the first number is without Retreating Maneuver buff, the second number is with Retreating Maneuver Rank IV). All numbers are in % values (not ups). Walking, Sprinting and Boost are without mount (by foot). Boost means the speed in the 2 seconds after performing a dodge roll with a bow equipped and Hasty Retreat lv 2.

Prior to the patch 1.2.3., on a character with Athletics lv 2 with 7 Medium Armor pieces equipped but without Steed Mundus Stone:
Walking: _____ 90 / 121
Sprinting: __ 136 / 165
Boost: ______ 178 / 207
Mounted: ____ 175 / 232
Horse Sprint: 206 / 272

Prior to the patch 1.2.3., on the same character but with Steed Mundus Stone:
Walking: _____ 95 / 126
Sprinting: __ 142 / 177
Boost: ______ 183 / 216
Mounted: ____ 180 / 240
Horse Sprint: 211 / 280

With patch 1.2.3., on the same character with Steed Mundus Stone:
Walking: _____ 95 / 126
Sprinting: __ 142 / 174
Boost: ______ 183 / 216
Mounted: ____ 175 / 175
Horse Sprint: 206 / 206

You can see that the speed values for "Mounted" and "Horse Sprint" with patch 1.2.3. are the same they were before on a character without the Steed Mundus Stone and without Rapid Maneuver. This is even the case now when the Rapid Maneuver buff on the character should be active!

This leads me to conclude (^^) that neither the Rapid Maneuver buff nor the Steed Mundus Stone bonus are applied when mounted anymore.

I hope this is a bug and will eventually be fixed and not an intentional change :( This would make riding a lot slower which would be very painful to almost everyone in Cyrodiil.

(And I tried switching horses, that doesn't help ^^)

    There is an additional 1hour +5% speed boost from Wolf Pelt Passive boost. You receive it from one of the alters in BrackenLeaf (grove) in Grahtwood (east side of map). There are 2 other paths for the quest there, I'm not sure if they give speed as well, so I'm not sure if you'll be able to test the numbers.

    I can confirm that rapid manouver its not working on horses anymore, but it is working when you travel on foot.

    I tested it with Tiger's Fur buff from Grahtwood (+4% speed as the in-game description says). It works and the bonus is applied when on foot but it does not work when mounted.

    Update: The patch 1.2.4. fixed the problem of Rapid Maneuver and its morphs not working when mounted anymore. However, the buffs received from the Steed Mundus Stone and the Braziers in Grahtwood are still not working when your character is mounted!
