Steps:
1/ Equip Goetia Sabots +2
2/ Use manafont 2hr and then Mana wall ability while being hit by Parcerpot
3/ Each hits remove MP => OK
4/ Once MP are at 0, HP are now removed (with Manafont still up)
=> Before update HP were not removed letting manafont to get hits and the blm to have a short period of invicibility.
=> I didn't view this modification in update notes so i suppose it is a bug.

Could be the old way was broken, and now they fixed it. NinjaFix.

If it wasn't taking MP with Manafont up before and now is, there is the change--it is supposed to flip to hp at 0 mp by design. From the wiki about Manawall:

Quote:

---

■If you get reduced to 0 mp because of damage taken from Mana Wall, Mana Wall wears off immediately.
■Damage will carry over to HP when MP is low enough.

I don't remember if it was chipping away at MP prior to the update or not when Manafont was in effect--really only used it as a save-my-but move when Enmity Dowse wasn't up in abyssea, and with all the refresh in there...probly wouldn't matter all that much, so didn't make note if it was taking MP away. I'm also in the habit of trying to keep SS/Phalanx up too, so that would also affect it as well (SS/Phalanx kick in first).
