I hate to disillusion you, but there never has been any such behavior.
pg_dump can barely tell the built-in functions from yours; telling
ones that came from template1 additions apart from ones that were added
to the specific database is well beyond its powers.

What you might be able to do is segregate the template1 additions from
the local ones by schema, and then use schema dump restrictions.
