The client does nothing with net_disconnect_reason.
It's an entirely server-sided convar.
A hah, I see. When I was attempting to repro, I was testing a client
sending it's disconnect message to a server, not a server forcefully
disconnecting a client and sending a disconnect message (which uses the
same message).
What ended up being fixed in the changelog was a different bug where
disconnect messages would sometimes not show in text chat due to a race
between player entity destruction and the player_disconnected event.
At least this misunderstanding led to fixing two bugs! :-)
This will be fixed in the next update, thanks!

It looks like the ConVar is used in engine code which affects how both the
client and server process all disconnect messages. When set to 0 on a client,
it will always override the disconnect reason with "Client Disconnect" on the
client's end, which is unintended behavior (it's also what was happening
before this ConVar existed).
