Basically, the 10% damage nerf places on rogues a few seasons back is not only overriding any damage buff offered by any pet, it's also applied afterwards. Definitely needs some refining there.

It makes sense doesn't it? If the pet's % is not applicable in pvp, how could it affect the owner's stats either before or after the zone stat alteration? When a character and their pet enters the arena, the stats are all recalculated, and the pet's % bonus is discounted from the start. It is not given then taken away, but rather it is not counted at all.

We did the testing on this a while back, which came up with the conclusions everyone is just realizing. The only surprise I would find is if the 15% pets no longer gave the 5% they did 2 months ago. But that would not be such a big surprise either, considering sts makes constant efforts to maintain class balance in pvp.
