A very fuzzily stated question which is hard to answer, but I do
not think it is another newbie protection, if it apparently is
actively hurting you. Also the documentation may need to be
updated to teach you enough about how to achieve what you want.
You can see where remote heads are by doing what? ls-remote?
"Old behaviour" for what configuration?
A fresh clone made with a recent version sets things up to track
all remote branches from the repository you cloned from under
remotes/origin/, and it even tracks new ones as they are added
at the remote, so you probably are doing something different
from the default configuration that has:
remotes.origin.fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
