I agree that the OS map seems to misrepresent the path. I tried to walk it on 17 Feb 2013, and the route is as you have it.
In fact, I could not see any evidence on the ground that the OS version of the bridleway has ever existed.
I might also add that the pictured gulley was more like a stream on the day. Not much fun for walkers, and challenging for your avarage horse too, I should have thought. I have no idea what cyclists would make of it in this condition.
