We are in survival on hard difficulty. We built a farm around a zombie spawner and it is only producing regular zombies. No baby or villager zombies (or chicken jockeys) and none of them have had any armor. (We've seen these variants in nearby caves/ravines so the local difficulty currently at 3.56 is high enough.)

Can't reproduce. Went to that spawner in the seed, and it gave me different types.
Are you 100% sure you're using 33c?
i am also experiencing this in 15w33c, however the world was generated using a previous version.
thus far i have 100 or so zombies from a single spawner and none of them are a variant.
edit: only way i was able to reproduce in lab is generate the world in 1.8, and upgrade to 33c. The spawner then produced no variants. When i upgraded that same world to 34a the spawner began working again, so it looks like all should be well next update.
To reproduce, create a world with seed -4599809624464142715 and go to the spawner located at -389,15,310. The NBT tags show a bunch of "0" values for DropChances. (This appears to be different from the usual, and when I deleted these tags the spawner started producing babies, villagers, and armored/armed zombies.)
