and there was a discussion on lilypond-user:

Original post:

In 2.14.2, the output for the second bar beams all five eighth notes  
together, as I would expect. In 2.15.39, the first eighth note is not  
beamed with the others:

\relative c'' {
    \time 3/4
    c8 c c c c c
    r c c c c c
}

End of original post.

Some further info:

A workaround has been provided to restore the previous behaviour. See  
mailing list threads.

Phil Holmes identified the change to beaming that is most likely  
responsible.

which is titled "beaming in 3/4 - a setting to not beam 3 eights
against the beat" so it looks like the design is not clear.

There is an existing, open tracker for beaming in 3/4:
