After my second (sigh) enderfarm attempt, this time in chunks generated with 1.0.6 (ios release), and again overworld chunks were generated.
Before I explored these chunks in 1.0.6, I examined the world in mcpe viz, where I planned my farm into an area of verified unexplored chunks. (Btw, here I can see that my first farm attempt is infested with various "ocean biome" chunks).
Now, after the chunks for my new farm were explored, again I parsed the world in mcpe viz, and could see that many of the newly 1.0.6 explored chunks were also "ocean biome".
So, from my perspective, this does not seem to be fixed or in any way remedied at all.
I guess I can chip in with some more info if it helps. I can see ocean biomes also created in the outer island areas, however, only in places where there have been built (cobblestone) bridges to cover gaps between the islands. I have no chunks without bridges that are ocean biome.
This is also observed in the same fashion in a new outer-island sector that was first accessed in (through a new respawned ender dragon portal) in 1.0.6.
This has to be reopened.

The chunks directly around the portals used to enter the outer rim areas are also ocean, both pre and post 1.0.6 generated portals.
