Yes. If you lose your .bashrc (or other startup) files you'll likely
see the problems.

Look at the diff of su.c between those versions and you'll see that su
behavior has indeed changed.

I don't use PAM, but it seems to me that the current PAM behavior now
matches the non-PAM behavior. Personally, I don't like this behavior at
all. It's worth noting that su from Coreutils does not exhibit this
behavior. It's also worth noting that patches are floating around to
enable PAM support for Coreutils su.
