I don't know of such a change. AFAIK the change to eldoc installed
recently was about changing the implementation of
eldoc-post-insert-mode, to make it more like the normal eldoc mode.
I.e. a change in implementation more than in behavior.

IIUC this change in behavior was not intended.
Leo, can you take a look to see what's going on?

It doesn't.

Indeed, I'd like to enable eldoc-mode by default wherever it's
supported, but that's for after 24.4.

The discussions were about making eldoc work in the minibuffer, not
about enabling it, AFAIK.
