Since i've switched to AG over a year ago, i haven't had any problems with attenuation. The one thing i've changed is using a theif to take my gravity readings. i'm using the same hydrometer i've used for years. my fermenting temps are around 68-70 (like to stay away from 70 but this time of year it gets a little warmer).
My IPA finished around 1.021 when target was 1.015, now it doesnt taste all that sweet, but with the hops, it might cover that up some. i made a stater of liquid California ale yeast per mrmalty.com, and i've brewed it before and had it finish correctly.
my blonde ale finished around 1.025 and that was using two rehydrated US-05 packets, this beers OG is around 1.050.
anyway, i'm stumped a little on this. maybe my thermometer i use for mashing is off, and i'm mashing to high? i've been using it for at least a year though.
