Confirmed for:

15w31b also for WitherBoss, probably intended because they both can't have potion effects

EnderDragon and Wither aren't affected.

I uploaded a couple screenshots. The effect command does work on the Ender Dragon. Not the Wither. Spectral Arrows do not affect either.

The Wither and the Ender Dragon will now ignore all effects.

Why ?...
It's not cool for map makers ...
It will be nice to be able to give them all the effects using commands.
And how to explain that the wither takes damage due to splash potions but not from commands...
