Is this changes intentional?

The description of what happened (and still happens) is wrong ....

Now

Rcmd INSTALL --build --clean myPkg

builds the tar.gz, and only then cleans. Also, files left by xemacs like
myfile~ are now included in the tar.gz. I think this were excluded before?

Intentional?

Rcmd INSTALL --build does not build a .tar.gz, but a .zip!

I think you are confusing it with Rcmd build.  The documented process is

1) Use R CMD build to build myPkg_ver.tar.gz, the source package.
2) Use R CMD INSTALL --build myPkg_ver.tar.gz to build myPkg_ver.zip, the binary package for distribution.


The --clean you are using refers to cleaning e.g. src/*.a after the install, not to cleaning the sources. That has not changed:
Rcmd INSTALL --help says


  -c, --clean           remove all files created during installation
                                                 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
