Are you able to play 640x480 mode in ffplay or vlc? Does it give you
the same FOV as motion or different?
Which resolution did you use in motion prior to upgrade to bullseye?

Yes, mplayer plays it just fine:
Movie-Aspect is undefined - no prescaling applied.
VO: [xv] 640x480 => 640x480 Planar YV12
and is has the same FOV as the motion picture. [1]
Before the upgrade to bullseye i also used 640x480 and got the whole FOV.
[3] is a video clips made with the old setup.
More info on FOV and binning (which i think is happening) is on [1]
Kind regards,
Ed

PS
Motion gives me a signal when the mouse is caught, so we can release it
into the wild.
No animals where harmed during the recording of this clip ;-)

Unfortunately, there is nothing motion can do if this is the FOV that
camera provides over V4L2 interface (since MPlayer shows the same)
You could ask Raspberry community, maybe someone came across this
issue and has a fix

Also, you can check which formats are available:
v4l2-ctl --list-formats-ex -d /dev/video0
Maybe there are other resolutions that would get wider picture from the sensor
