No, this is not yet resolved. With my fix, this "works" now, but would be a performance disaster. We need to implement caching for the rendered HTML, probably using the parser cache in a bastardized way (because what we're caching is Parsoid HTML instead of Parser.php HTML, and doesn't correspond 1:1 to a page or revision). I've been meaning to work on this, but it got buried under a variety of other things.
