1.8 still an issue. Tried moving the bottom layer up one and then 2 blocks, but it still spawned all hostile mobs.
Not fixed at all for my 1.7.2 witch farm, reported in MC-46858. Farm still spawning all hostiles.
Still an issue with 31a, which was meant to solve the problem.
Still an issue w/ 28a (for the brief time the game ran before crashing)
Ditto for 18a.
No change in latest snapshot. Witch farm trap still spawning all manner of mobs. Still disappointed, but not surprised.

Hut: 1812. 71. -460
I created a new map with the latest snapshot for the same seed - the hut is still there, so this isn't simply a matter of terrain gen changes that seem to happen quite often (check out older maps with newer minecraft versions, and deserts turn into snow biomes etc), but more like the change at 1.6.4 (iirc) where existing structures' metadata was changed (and we were warned repeatedly about that at the time, but not this time it seems). Maybe my analysis is incorrect, but if this is a 'feature' and not a bug, it's infuriating that this hasn't been listed in the changelog.

This is a screenshot of NBTExplorer. It has <MAPNAME>/data/temple.dat/data/Features/<RELEVANT WITCH HUT> folder open
Changed the entry reading 73 from 68 for both BB: 6 integers (not sure if both needed). The lower layer of my existing farm is at 73. Now that layer spawns witches only. Top layer spawns all mobs. No other entry causes only witches to spawn on both layers.
This was worked out from reading some comments in issue MC-58363
