Yes, this is a result of a recent intentional change to fix #597061 and #787945.

Unfortunately this 'locking' affect's only Synaptic. To hold a package
for most package management interfaces please use:

 apt-mark hold <package name>

Yes, the change took place in 0.99.

No, this option is documented in /usr/lib/apt/apt.systemd.daily and
controls only the interval packages are downloaded.

Please use the apt-mark hold <package name> command to lock packages
and u-u will honor that. You can also choose set
Unattended-Upgrade::Package-Blacklist, but that affects
unattended-upgrades only and not for example apt-get dselect-upgrade.

Cheers,
