In the recent day's it work for me, so I think only the last update could cause it.
If I use in a common mask the "blur"-function in the property panel PS show's it correct. But if I save it and look in LR for it the blur-effekt isnt present. Also if I save it as jpg from PS or LR the blur is vanished.

When I save a jpg out of a psd and haven't merged my layers, all my feathered masks will be shown with hard edges in the saved jpg. (I am working with CC 2015.)

Same issue here. Also, if it helps the diagnosis, I have feathered masks on separate layer adjustments and I can see both masks in Lr as a hard edge without feathering. I'm not sure if turning off background saves is the best solution if I risk losing work in progress. Turning off that preference also turns off Automatically Save Recovery Information Every: ... 

Thank you to the person that said the Adobe password also works here, I added my displeasure to the counter.

When I look for help from within the application it sends me to https://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop. I wonder why the engineers hang out here rather than the help area they have programmed into the application.

Thank you to everyone for posting, I hope this will be fixed soon.

After the latest update of Photoshop CC 2015.1.2 on OSX following bug appears
  • I am using a Layer Mask and change the settings "Soft Edge" or "Density" in the Properties panel of the Layer Mask.
  • In PS everythings looks fine, but if I place the file in InDesign the edge of the mask is hard and the density is 100%.
  • Saving the file as jpg or tif >>> same result
  • PNG and "Save for web" are working ...
Any ideas or common bug after updating?

Images edited in photoshop (whether through the "Edit In" Photoshop option or a file manually opened into Photoshop, saved, and then imported into Lightroom) that have an adjustment layer with a mask that has been blurred using the layer mask feather property, is rendered in Lightroom without the feather and instead shows the original edge of the unfeathered mask. The rendering issues is present when that image is exported out of Lightroom and printed.

For those who haven't figured out a better temporary solution yet, as a last step before saves you can create a merge visible layer at the top so you can still retain background saves while creating a bit more hassle and larger files. Hope this is fixed soon!

Registering that I also have come across this issue as of yesterday. I reported it in the Photoshop/Lightroom forum https://forums.adobe.com/message/8595698#8595698 
I have now unchecked save in the background, so hopefully the error will now stop occurring. Thanks for the work around details. 
I hope they fix it soon because I feel safer knowing that I have auto backups happening in the background.
