I will confirm that the plant life in Solstheim will also not grow back after thirty days even if you leave the island. I have left and waited in a building on mainland Skyrim for three in game months to test this .
Also the enemies that respawn in locations on Solstheims wilderness do not respawn. I also waited three in game months to test this bug on mainland Skyrim in a building.
This is with a forty hour character I made to test 1.8 and Dragonborn. It seems the 1.3 respawn bug has effected the expansion as well.
