I noticed this same issue starting on the 13th. It crashed our reporting systems as our code was not expecting the extra characters within the keywordText field. Even worse, when the exact same report request is downloaded through the Adwords UI, the extra characters are NOT present which made it difficult to track down what crashed during report parsing. Definitely hoping that the addition of these "match type" characters within the keyword text is an error that will be removed. The reports already contain a "match type" field that can be requested, so it seems redundant to also embed that information within the keyword text.
