In response to this thread in the I21 bug reports forum, I've been tracking my salvage drops while running solo. 3,381 defeats later, the results are in:

Pool Drop Rate Range Drops Expected Mobs
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Salvage 11.24% 10.28%-12.27% 446 285-352 3,967 min. equiv.
minion 11.94% 10.58%-13.42% 247 143-191 2,068 minions
lieutenant 14.20% 11.90%-16.76% 118 72-107 831 LTs & snprs
boss 31.89% 26.20%-38.01% 81 51-78 254 bosses & EBs
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I can say with 99.99999999% confidence that the current salvage drop rate for minions is higher than the official 8%. The drop rates for LTs and bosses are also high, but not too far outside the expected ranges: there's a roughly 1 in 2000 chance that the LT drop numbers are due to randomness rather than a shift in drop rates, and the boss drop number is within the 99% interval for a 25% drop rate.
