Illustrator in 30.3 version stopped reading spot colors (like Pantones) from greyscale PSD files.

When placing a grayscale PSD file with added spot color (it can be either Pantone or custom spot), only the grayscale is readed into Illustrator, spot color is being ignored. TIF files and CMYK colorspace files work normally.
