laughting jasper flint continuous effect are still on after it had been neutralized.
I was playing brawl on pc against commander Laughting Jasper Flint.
Their commander on the battlefield, I bestow Trickster's Elk targeting Laughting Jasper Flint making it lose all abilities.
Later they play Hellspur Posse Boss and cast Reanimate targeting Famished Worldsire in my graveyard, This is where it went wrong. RESULT ; Mercenary subtype got added on Famished Worldsire upon entering and it got haste from Hellspur Posse Boss. At that point the Laughting Jasper Flint was still bestow by Trickster's Elk and had an empty rule box.
EXPECTED RESULT ; Famished Worldsire enter the battlefield without mercenary subtype and it cannot attack with haste.

Not a bug.
This is a common interaction due to many many many cards changing (sub)types. Making the source of such an ability lose that ability will not stop the type change, and subsequently anything else the ability does in addition will also still happen. Type changes happen in layer 4, ability adding and losing in layer 6, so type changes always happen before ability losing.
Additionally, though not relevant in this particular case, because of rule 613.6, once an ability's effect starts to apply, it gets to apply fully, even if the ability is removed when going through the layers.
613.6. If an effect should be applied in different layers and/or sublayers, the parts of the effect each
apply in their appropriate ones. If an effect starts to apply in one layer and/or sublayer, it will
continue to be applied to the same set of objects in each other applicable layer and/or sublayer, even
if the ability generating the effect is removed during this process.
