Well I seems I do not get CH xp anymore when I use my pets for fighting.
Great to be able to call pets from the toolbar, but I'd rather get my XP back....
They fixed one minor issue and introduced a much more annoying bug...
if your master, you dont get any more xp period.

Really? Hmm... when I was re-grinding my alt to MCH in the past month, I'd send a pet in to attack a group of mobs, kissing each in turn (while someone else tanked), sometimes calling it out of combat after it registered hits on all of them, and I got full xp for all those it would hit- even if it wasn't fighting that specific mob when that mob died. I did find though that if I was not within 70-80m of the mob when it died, I wouldn't get any xp for it (like if my pet chased a mob off 100m to die and I didn't follow).
Although I have run into situations where I'm sure my pets got hits, remained in combat, but still no xp. But usually it's just a temporary glitch.

I misunderstood what he said originally. You wrote what I meant

What were you fighting?
When fighting mobs that are 100% kinetic resist, I get no CH xp from them because my pets don't actually damage them (mokk rockshapers, for ex).
I was using freshly tamed mountian squill babies (CL1 thus) vs rills, worrts, rats just a bit outside ME. This normally gives a few XP. It didn't.
Then I went ont further, near Mos Aga'me, using spider and a horselike one(sorry forgot the type of animals, use them so much besides me that their names are more usefull for me then the sort of pet they are), killing few gnorts, rats, kreetles, greater desert rats... Still no XP.
Until I hit a mob of desert demon markmsan. Then I got XP. And suddenly after that I also got XP from fighting creatures again...

You didn't read very well.. Few posts above I already stated I'm not capped nor master (needing 2 boxes before mastering means both).
Besides the point, even as master, I think you will get xp. Every master profession still keeps gaining XP until it's capped.
