It was never a bug in the first place, just bad design:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=663649#c3
Cosimo Cecchi, Nautilus developer, said:
"Apply permissions to enclosed files" button is only meant to apply 
*permissions* (as in the values of the "Folder/File Access" comboboxes) 
recursively, and not group and owner information (and it works in that regard).
The current version of Nautilus has a modified interface that makes more clear 
that only permission are changed on enclosed files.

** Changed in: nautilus (Ubuntu)
       Status: Triaged => Fix Released
