This is standard behavior, and always has been.

The wiki page on llVolumeDetect() goes into some detail on this.

it's a patch to an "feature" (*curses* SOME people thought it was a bug and complained

)

It was great for getting untangled from buildings (or using to ride a hoverbike through buildings at no friction high speeds)

It was not a feature, and it was never intended to be a feature. In fact, llVolumeDetect was ALWAYS disabled for the root prims of attachments, someone just managed to figure out that the Lindens had forgotten to disable it for child prims as well.

I honestly don't know what difference it makes if it was a feature or a bug. There are many features that are a lot more annoying than this bug was. And there are a lot of other bugs that are a lot more annoying than this bug.
