Confirmed.

is this because of the water slowing overriding the slowness effect?

Johannes Donath

This issue both applies to slowness and speed affects. When using a slowness effect the player will even speed up as soon as it's hitbox touches the water (Tested in snapshot 14w04b).

Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version 1.8.1 Prerelease 3 or later? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.

Ticket resolved as incomplete, because no answer in a reasonable amount of time (1+ year), if it still happens, please update the ticket.
