Don't feel bad; it's causing a few issues across all my projects, as well as a few others I'm sure. The problem is that these things were supposed to have been removed a LONG time ago, but their old API still depended on them. Pre-Cata dropdowns were littered with "this" still in it and has become a major thorn in my side with this change.

So now poeple are still used to these being actively used after their supposed "disappearance" and are watching their addons blow up with no documentation (that I've found anyways) listing the "correct" format examples to replace their ancient "this" references. This is very confusing/frustrating for new and old coders alike. Old dogs and new tricks....
