Confirmed in latest release (1.9.2). This happens both when 1) you lead the horse through the portal with a lead, or 2) you ride the horse into the portal and then dismount to initiate transport of the horse. As near as I can tell, the horse's head seems to enter the obsidian after I travel through the portal following the horse - it seems to occur as a result of my knocking the horse out of the portal itself and into the portal frame. In 1.8.9 this does not happen - I seem to be able to co-ccupy the same space as the horse until it walks out of the portal.
This is a major bug, severely limiting the utility of horses/mules. One of the main reasons I have mules is to enable rapid transport of myself and materials through the Nether to various remote regions of my world! Under the current version, I must either build all new (larger) portals, or place mules outside every Nether transport station (like taxis) to handle local transport needs. Ugh!
Please, please, please figure out how to enable players to ride horses through Nether portals while mounted! This seems like an obvious feature that should have been built into the game since introducing horses into the game in the first place!
