EMC has always blended G0 moves. Program a square path of four rapids, run it, and look at the backplot. You will see rounded corners. With long moves on a machine with low acceleration and with no path tolerance specified, you can get a fairly round corner. I think this is the behavior you're describing but I'm not entirely sure. You do have full control over this behavior though: To specify a path following tolerance, program G64 P--- To specify exact stop mode so each move goes exactly to the programmed endpoint, program G61.
