Describe the Bug:
When Whirling Dervish deals noncombat damage to its controller's opponent, for example via Arcane Teachings, no +1/+1 counter is put on it at the end of that turn.

Which card did behave improperly ?
Whirling Dervish

Which update are you using?(date,name)Which type(Duel,Gauntlet,Sealed Deck)
CoRM15 mini3, duel

What exactly should be the correct behavior/interaction ?
When Whirling Dervish deals noncombat damage to its controller's opponent, a +1/+1 counter is put on it at the end of that turn.

Are any other cards possibly affected by this bug ?
Might possibly affect similiar creatures that trigger off dealing damage to players, for example Goblin Lackey, Soltari Visionary, Abyssal Specter, Hypnotic Specter, Nicol Bolas, Thieving Magpie, Looter il-Kor, Charnelhoard Wurm and/or others.

Does anyone remember if there was a card from original game that could make all these cards do non-combat damage to player and so trigger their abilities, because I couldn't find any? I am under the impression that this worked once but probably I am wrong.
1- This bug has to be the same rout problem with these:

The culprit is Arcane Teachings (and Hermetic Study), which is fixed in 251cfcd
The Mortarpod case is different: since the equipped creature is sacrificed before the damage is dealt, it's hard to keep tracks of its abilities once the damage resolves.
