BoE Item Changed to BoP After Mailing It

I looted Cypher-Etched Torque (https://www.wowhead.com/item=190634/cypher-etched-torque?bonus=6935#comments ) on my warlock Zaffnar-Llane and sent it to my monk Phuumyn-Llane and when I retrieved it from the mailbox it was instantly showing as soulbound and Bind on Pick-up despite being Bind on Equip when I mailed it. Now it is not tradeable despite not equipping it.

I just had this issue with an item I listed on the AH last night, as soon as i got it out of the mailbox it was BoP. Can’t imagine what this is going to do to people that are selling high gold items that are BoE

I have the same issue, same item. Mailed it to my AH toon to sell, it is now BOP on my lvl 2 alt.

This is now being listed as an intended hotfix to an issue that was not even known by a GM that responded to my ticket on this matter.
