This is a significant issue because it's common for enemies to be immediately present in the new map area, so players lose the ability to cast spells from stealth before combat starts.

 

Only applies to animal companion and was not present before the update.

 

Almost certainly related to the bug that makes the animal companion emerge from stealth when loading game:
