Depending on your machine's acceleration, and the feed you requested, that could be correct default behavior. The default blend tolerance is unlimited. Given the speed limitations the TP used to have, it may not have been able to go fast enough to need a big blend like that, so you might not have seen it before. Does it still happen at lower feeds?
Another possible cause is a large maximum feed override, which causes the TP to take larger blends. For example, a maximum feed override of 200% means that at any time, the TP is prepared to go 2x your requested feed, and doing so safely means a larger corner radius, even if your requested feed isn't that fast. In general, I would always recommend using an explicit tolerance for blending. Can you share a code snippet that leads to this behavior (also a config file so I can see your max acceleration / velocity)?
