Not sure when that line was posted, but quoted by this guy and dated at least 4 months before what Mark said so that info is either outdated and/or just made up because it wasn't from a GGG source.

Would like to hear an official word about this. Does MF gear work on animate guardian?
My post you linked is still accurate* other than there being more ways for minions to have gear modifiers now than just Necromantic Aegis. Those still won't apply to the kill because the minion isn't the one being rewarded, you are.
The ambiguous quote about minion's loot bonuses being added to yours likely dates to before keystones, at a time when the bonus from the support gem (which is different in that it's attached to the action causing the kill, not the killer) was the only way for a minion to "have" any IIQ/IIR bonuses and thus would be referring only to the support(s).
*With regard to loot bonuses at least - Minion Instability does deal damage now.
