Ahem, ARIN's WHOIS server has been sending such responses for ages.
Maybe the change is that more addresses trigger this behavior, but you
could get the handle list before.  Even sending the "+" flag has been
requested before:

| Date: Fri, 27 Dec 2002 22:19:09 +0100
| 
| Package: whois
| Version: 4.6.1
| Severity: normal
| Tags: patch
| 
| Please include the "+" flag when querying information for IP addresses
| from whois.arin.net.  This way, whois(1) will print useful information
| and not just the useless overview.
