Ethereal Knives projectiles not returning

There's a noticeable difference in projectile travel distance and projectile speed between "Ethereal Knives of Lingering Blades" and normal "Ethereal Knives" or "Ethereal Knives of the Massacre". "Lingering Blades" being the fastest and longest distance.
Normal and "of the Massacre" "Ethereal Knives" do not return even with +244% projectile speed modifier.
Has anyone tested if skill effect duration increases EK's travel distance? EK's gem lost duration tag.
Well, I wait for the official statement from GGG on this.

UPDATE:
I've tested the projectile speed modifier for normal "Ethereal Knives" and projectiles start to return at around +320% increased projectile speed. For +315% they still don't return. At +321% they do return.

However for normal and "of the Massacre" version at +320% proj speed it doesn't fire correctly in the cirlcle. Instead it fires in 4 different cones, in different directions (almost like volley support in front and back of you, and multiple projectiles support in 2 sides of you - see the image).

EDIT2: To the above: My mistake, because I haven't noticed my wand has a "Soceted Gems are Supported by Level 16 Volley". It fires correctly in a circle


I'll try to record some footage of returning projectiles if I manage to find a working app to do so.

Anyway, I still think it's bugged.

UPDATE2:
Recorded some footage with all EK versions and the threshold for returning seems to be around 250% projectile speed.

Still seems like they aren't returning. Anyone else have any luck?

Normal EK's projectiles seem to be returning when casting into walls now.. :D
bump
So, can we finally get some developer confirmation whether it's intended for the base gem of EK to not return? I hope this fiasco finally makes them delete return as a mechanic. The inconsistency of interactions and what skills are allowed to work and not work when the mechanic can be a broken amount of damage is, quite frankly, tiring.
