This rule change is listed on the Cosmic Baseball website (thanks, BigUmp56, for supplying the link). Many scoring changes are later rescinded, but apparently not this one.
So in MLB today, is a strikeout not credited on a wild pitch that allows the BR to reach 1B?

I saw that too, and was wondering the same thing. I think that somewhere along the line, the rule was changed back to crediting the strikeout. Check out Rule 10.17(a)(3).
