Indeed, that's the commit that changes the behavior. The change was intended;
quoting from my own commit message:

>
> Show and manage the default Writer print options in the "Tools" ->

The setting in "Tools" -> "Options" defines the default value to use for *new*
documents, while the one in "File" -> "Printer Settings" handles that of the
current document, i.e. changing the one in "Tools" -> "Options" will only take
effect when creating a new document.
See tdf#47583 for more background which describes how the previous behavior was
even more confusing.
Inserting a corresponding heading/tag as suggested in the proposal from
tdf#47583 comment 0 would probably help to make this clearer:
> Proposal in order to make the behaviour more transparent:
> Insert a heading to the option category 'LibreOffice Writer > Print':
> "Initial Print Options of new Documents". And of course print options of
> current documents should not longer displayed in the general options dialog.
IMHO, if changed, that should be handled consistently with other places as
well, s. my tdf#47583 comment 14:
> I'm looking into the second aspect mentioned here (not displaying
> document-specific settings in "Tools" -> "Options"; Calc also doesn't do
> this).
> I suggest to then handle the "remainder" (i.e. proper labels/headings) in bug
> 118262, where this is also already mentioned.
tdf#118262 mentions more areas where the current handling of
general/file-specific options is not ideal.
Given that, I'd suggest that this is not a regression but a "Works For Me" (but
I agree that it may be confusing, s. above comments with further details and
existing ideas/tickets to improve this further).
