Uber: any acknowledgement of front-back grapple issue?

From the Jan 19 update news:
Altered how grapple victims are found making it easier for larger classes to have a successful grapple

Ever since then, it seems like more front-grapples are being detected as back grapples, even when I'm playing the assassin. Others have voiced the same concern.

Could this be a real issue? Or did that code change not apply to the assassin, and we're just imagining things?

The front / back grapples were reported before that update and shouldn't have anything to do with it. We are seeing Assassins dashing by a Pro, 180 turning and grappling which to another Pro does look like a front / back grapple.

every single time i've facegrabed someone it's because i've charged in and momentum didnt stop on charge connect, and i've zoomed around their back. this, probably due to latency, looks like a front grab.
it's definitely not like tf2, where facestabs are due to edging into a model or something
