Vehicles ignoring Painted Impass Layer

Existing map, pre WFA. Just as title describes. Using the impass layer you paint, vehicles ignore it. Works fine with infantry.

I had this issue with the alpha, but I used the alpha WB to export, and issue was fixed. Now with update, the same resolution does not work, using the updated WB.

UPDATE:
This is not isolated to pre WFA maps. I made a map from scratch, same problem. After correspondence with Janne252, he is experiencing the same problems.

Any word from developers? I posted on the official forum, but it has less views, than this one.

I tested this myself the other day and yeah, vehicles ignore painted impass. I'm also having problems with one of the movement blockers on some of my maps, but I can't recreate the problem on new maps that I make.

I'm surprised there hasn't been a response from relic by now. Starting to wonder if this was by design.

Srinidhalaya you could actually send me a link to the map in question and we'll take a look. we have a fix ready but it would be nice to see this map regardless.

The map it was discovered on (of mine) was The Road to Devastation

After plenty of testing, I actually made a new map to test if it was my map specifically...
I put 2 players, with starting locations, starting territory, and entry points, and then a single territory point in the middle. I calculated territory, and used what it came up with. I then painted Impass layer completely blocking off both teams base, and saved/export. Vehicles were able to pass through, infantry was not, and the pathfinding indicator (the dotted trail) reflected it too. Vehicles path would ignore the impass, and infantry would stop at the impass. I can upload this map as well, but the above linked maps are how I discovered the bug (steam player Glitch-0 reported it on my map page). The Road to Devastation is designed around detouring vehicles access to the front, while granted freedom to infantry.

Thank you so much for taking the time to investigate, I hope this clears up some questions.
