Can confirm.

Can confirm as well; they don't seem to take knockback either.

Confirmed for 1.8.6.

Is this still an issue in the most recent versions (i.e. 1.10.2, or 16w42a) of Minecraft?

This appears to still be an active issue in 1.11.2. The command has changed due to Minecraft's updated entity handling, but the overall problem remains.
.
.
Updated command:
/summon potion ~ ~5 ~ {Potion:{id:"minecraft:splash_potion",Count:1,tag:{Potion:"minecraft:harming"}}}
.
.
I've also tried adding in various combinations of the "ownerName" and "UUID" tags to see if that solved the problem, to no avail:
.
/summon potion ~ ~5 ~ {ownerName:USER,Potion:{id:"minecraft:splash_potion",Count:1,tag:{Potion:"minecraft:harming"}}}
.
/summon potion ~ ~5 ~ {UUIDLeast:0L,UUIDMost:1L,Potion:{id:"minecraft:splash_potion",Count:1,tag:{Potion:"minecraft:harming"}}}
.
/summon potion ~ ~5 ~ {UUIDLeast:0L,UUIDMost:1L,ownerName:USER,Potion:{id:"minecraft:splash_potion",Count:1,tag:{Potion:"minecraft:harming"}}}
.
(Sorry about the strange spacing, I can't seem to get the formatting to look decent)
