This PR [https://github.com/The-Compiler/qutebrowser/pull/1592] changed the behavior to match readline's unix-word-rubout. What you're looking for is what readline calls 'unix-filename-rubout'. You can press ctrl-backspace for this behavior, but it can't be rebound. I've filed an issue for this, as I find it useful as well: https://github.com/The-Compiler/qutebrowser/issues/1710.
