The issue is fixed by changing the class of the Cow King from the superuniques.txt file from the new D2R value of 'cowking' back to the D2LoD value of 'hellbovine'.
It is suspected that this change was made when Blizzard made it such that you can kill the Cow Kind and then still be able to open the Secret Cow Level again. Luckily this fix does not prevent you from opening the Secret Cow Level again, I suspect this is because that is implemented into the game and cannot be changed by a soft mod.
During testing I did not encounter any other unexpected side effect cause by the changing of the Cow King class attribute. Please let me know if you find any issue.
Before the fix the Cow King dropped failed set items (rare items with double durability) because the game could determined that the Cow King could not drop items from the Cow King Set. Before and after pictures are presented to prove this fact.
