I don't know, but I do not see this as a problem. After all, if one wants
the previous behavior, only a handful of faces need to be updated.
Apparently the new behavior was considered better. The NEWS item about
this (in NEWS.27) states: "This is to make Emacs behave more like other
GUI applications with respect to displaying faces that cross line
boundaries."
