HeadHunter Belt / Post Patch bug?

Hello i saw this thread where a player seems quite sure headhunter was not working the same way before patch.
I only use the HeadHunter Belt since the last patch so i would like to know if the OP of the folowing thread is right:
http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1039810/page/1/#p8786140

Roughly he said before patch, while wearing the belt, when you killed a rare you gain ALL its mods,
not only aura, proxy shield, slow mobs, shroud etc.... but also prefix and suffix like "extra life", "Quick", "extra projectile"...

Is there any pre-patch headhunter belt user that can shed a light on this?
(been bumping the post of the dude in the bug report since weeks no answer until there)
