As of 11/8/2015, this bug is still occurring. My wife can't see my custom skin. =(
But my point is, why are they focusing their resources on things like, "MC-3885 – Arrows shot into the underside of a block appear black," an issue which is, at worst, slightly annoying, instead of focusing on issues that entirely break a complete game feature?
I agree. This bug makes wolves effectively unusable. I found some wolves once, but I didn't have any bones on me at the time. Now I have no wolves in my world.
Why is this not a higher priority than any of the minor bugs that have been fixed over the last few months?
