Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. Nvidia geforce 540LE
Current build 59393 broken
Last build that works. 58839
--- Short description of error ---
Not really an error, more of behavioral inconsistency that has popped up.
This only happens on objects which have a modifier. I've tried using two methods.
bmesh.from_object() and
object.to_mesh() + bmesh.from_mesh()
In the Contour Tools addon, I raycast a blender object to get a starting face to then use in a bmesh operator. In the past (before 58839) the index returned by ray_cast would always return an index which was reliably the index of the corresponding face in the bmesh. (with exception, ray_cast intersecting an Ngon)
The fidelity seemed to be preserved in both object -> bmesh and bmesh -> object directions before this error started popping up
This is partially related to issue #36363 but I believe it is a separate issue as I'm encountering it with meshes without ngons

--- Steps for others to reproduce the error (preferably based on attached .blend file) ---
open the blend
run the script
Notice that the bmesh face as specified by the index returned from ob.ray_cast does not match!

This is working as intended, if you want to get the index of the mesh which is converted from a modifier,
you will have to assign that mesh to an object and do the ray-cast.
Any tools which depended on this behavior would break with ngons as you point out, so this wasn't working reliably.
closing.
