We will schedule the fix for Q3 2016 (tentatively). If it is not resolved in the next official release, then we will postpone it for the first service pack.

@ggkrustev Is there a work around we can apply right now? I have a few systems that are live that use this feature.

Hi LorenDorez - there is a work around.
You can force the cascade child to reload correct data by resetting its datasource in the change event of the cascade parent.

In the "parent" cascading drop down's change event, add two lines:

var childWidget = $("#ChildDropDownId").data("kendoDropDownList");
 childWidget.setDataSource(childWidget.dataSource);
