When a player is a passenger of another player (or any entity, in fact), the player being ridden has their view obstructed by the entity riding them. This did not happen in 1.7.

How can a player ride another player ?
Please provide screenshots in 3rd person mode, as well as screenshots of 1.7
setPassenger in Bukkit, but note that this doesn't only apply to players riding players.

This ticket is invalid as it relates to a modified or 3rd party client, server, or launcher.
Any non-standard client/server/launcher build needs to be taken up with the appropriate team, not Mojang.
Any plugin issues need to be addressed to the creator of the plugin or resource pack.
This site is for addressing issues related to the base unmodded Minecraft; Bukkit, Forge, Optifine, or any other modded system invalidates your ticket, unless it can be shown to happen in Vanilla.
Additionally, if you have problems on large-scale modded servers, please report it to their site. It's probably not a bug in Vanilla Minecraft.
This actually is doable in vanilla 1.9.2. It requires the use of /summon and spectator mode.
/summon Zombie ~ ~ ~ {Passengers:[{id:Zombie}]}
Then use spectator mode to look at the zombie on the bottom.
