Is this just for `puppet lookup` commands, as the referenced bug
indicates (PUP-7479), or is this a *general* change? If it's a general
thing, that's fascinating and I want to know more.

The feature is for 'puppet lookup' commands ONLY.  For puppet in general, we always want puppetserver to determine which environment to assign the agent to.

Good question btw. I'll see that we update our release notes for clarity.
