Wifi is till on while in flight mode - leading to slow battery drain

Hello experts,
I have a new Nexus 5x with stock ROM, after I updated android with May '16 update of Marshmallow 6.0.1.

I tried setting the device to flight mode last night, including Wifi off, to see if the battery level is preserved over night. In the morning I saw that battery level dropped slowly overnight, but what is more interesting is that Wifi was still on.

(I don't know why, I can't find the "attachment" section for this post so I use imgur)
In this screenshot, notice flight-mode icon on top right and wifi green bar on the button

I found this post from January, but it only says there's graphic bug...

then I found this thread suggesting a workaround to turn off cell radio manually. When I get to PhoneInfo screen (with the disable phone radio) - it warns me "this might ruin the device radio permanently"

Anyone know if Google fixed this issue in a special update?
