After discussing it a bit more with the programmer in question who was working on this issue, because of the unique nature of how the First Blood passive works, the fix he did does not work for the Angel of Fear. He will be continuing to look into the situation, but it is unlikely to get a fix in time for the next update. Basically, he tried to do the fix that will work for most (all?) other start of battle passives, but it ended up making the First Blood passive not work at all, so he had to revert the changes for First Blood and just preserve having the improvement for other passives.
Sorry about the previously-incorrect information about that in my previous post (and the preliminary notes). It's an unfortunate side effect of trying to communicate upcoming fixes before an update is signed off and submitted; sometimes, things that get fixes applied need to have changes reverted due to unintended knock-ons.
