That's not true.  This has always been the case.  To quote Freeciv Help --
Combat:

"If the defender loses, and is not inside a city or fortress,
all other units at the defender's location are destroyed
along with the defender."

This is also the standard behavior in Civ1/2.  Note the exception about
city/fortress.  That might be where the confusion came from.
