I'm trying to copy picklist value from related record to another picklist and I tried both, workflow and process builder and I get stuck due to limitations of using a formula for picklists. Here they say they fixed it in Summer '15 but I can't make it work. Any ideas?

I'm sure you've probably figured this out by now since it's been 4 months. Updating Picklist B with Picklist A's value is not possible with a WF field update. Using process builder, you can set Picklist B with Picklist A's value by selecting "formula". Make sure to include the TEXT() function in your formula and it will work!

Check out this screen shot of "real-life" example:

Additionally you can perform this action using the "Reference" selection when selecting the value to update with. Then select the object and picklist which you want to use to update your original picklist.
