Must have done 20+ Maghda runs last night on T3 (Campaign mode). Didn't get a single leg mat to drop. Seems a bit strange to me, seeing as the drop rate for T3 is 15%. Can anyone else confirm lower than expected drops? The only thing I can think of is major bosses might not be classified as "SuperUniques".
The hot fix is for rifts only. Also there was no change to legendary mat drops. The 15% is the confirmed drop chance. There has been no hotfix for legendary items outside of rifts

There is now an additional bonus 25% chance to find a Legendary item while in a Nephalem Rift.*

That wasn't a change. It was just a confirmation of what the drop rates have always been.
Whether these drop chances apply to Bosses is unknown, they might just apply to SuperUniques, as you mentioned yourself.
Also, the odds of not getting a drop in 20 runs with a 14.9% drop chance are just under 4% [(1-0.149)^20]. Low, for sure, but not low enough to indicate a bug, it might really just be bad luck.
Not to make you feel worse...but I got the mat the only two times I have killed her since ROS released...and I don't have the set pattern yet ole RNG...everyone's favorite.

Edit: didn't mean to imply this was a hotfix. it is a simple confirmation of existing drop rates.
I believe I remember reading that it needed a patch to increase the superunique's crafting drop rates.

This is the change I was referring to. They mentioned it was from a Polish blue post so maybe it hasn't made it to all regions yet?
I'd say just wait it out until the new rates are in:http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/10219142187?page=6#103
