Is the "Screen Blur in dialogues" after TW3 1.30 a known bug?

ALL OF THIS ON PS4A few weeks ago, an update for The Witcher 3 (v1.30) has been published. The log states several bug fixes, and a look change for the banker Vivaldi.

The only problem right now is that when I am near Hierarch Square's Vivaldi's bank or in general Novigrad, at every dialog the whole screen blurs, and a loading icon pops up. This does not only happen when I start a dialogue, but also evertime Geralt says something.

I'd like to know if there are articles, official tweets, posts (e.g. We found a bug, will be fixed soon!) or if the company and/or IGN and other sites have officially defined this as a found bug. Also, for some awkward reason, Vivaldi's arm are invisible too.

On several forums, I found other users talking about this issue. All of them are on either PS4 or XBOX One. It seems that users who HAVE purchased Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine are NOT experiencing this bug, and Vivaldi's arms are visible. Hmm...
