Summoning mobs riding other mobs no longer seems to work

Nobody appears to have mentioned this, so here goes:

Summoning mobs with an entity data tag to ride other mobs no longer works as of 15w41b . Tried these 3 commands in chat in singleplayer:
/summon Pig ~ ~ ~ {Riding:{id:Bat}}
/summon Skeleton ~ ~1 ~ {Riding:{id:EntityHorse}}
/summon Pig ~ ~ ~ {Riding:{Id:Bat}}
they would spawn the pig/skeleton/pig respectively not riding anything.

Note that the last one has the entity tag "Id" and not id, which is incorrect and shouldn't have worked anyway, but I tried it in case. The other two worked accurately in 15w40b. I'm guessing it was a side effect of repairing "MC-89894 – Mobs riding slimes cause the game to crash" but that's just a wild guess. Doesn't work in 15w41a either. Mobs that were already riding other mobs that have already spawned (in previous worlds) will still work. I was switching my version around and going back to a certain test world to test the bug, but I'm ~74.638% sure that shouldn't matter.

WAIT.. There's some new tag called Passengers that replaced Riding! Apologies, didn't realize. How do you get rid of this?

The "Riding" NBT tag has been removed and replaced with "Passengers" The new way to summon stacked entities follows:

/summon ENTITY ~ ~ ~ {Passengers:[{id:"ENTITY"}]}
