Yes, there were changes but I don’t consider this specific visualization a bug.
It’s possible we’ll revisit how indentation lines work in general in the future.

Thanks for letting me know this is intended.

I’ve go ahead and tweaked it:

body {
  --indentation-guide-editing-indent: 0;
}

.markdown-source-view.mod-cm6 .cm-indent {
  min-width: 0;
}
