It looks from Mat's and Han-Wen's investigations that it's the documentation of
figured bass that's gone backwards since 1.6, not the actual
implementation.
The 1.6 version of input/test/figured-base.ly said:
1.6> Figured bass is created by the FiguredBass context which eats
1.6> note-requests and rest-requests. You can enter these either
1.6> using standard @code{< >} notation, or using the special
1.6> @code{\figures @ { @}} mode, which allows you to type
1.6> numbers, like @code{<4 6+>}.
Whereas the 2.4 version of input/regression/figured-bass.ly says:
2.4> Figured bass is created by the FiguredBass context which eats
2.4> figured bass requests and rest-requests. You must enter
2.4> these using the special @code{\figuremode @{ @}} mode, which
2.4> allows you to type numbers, like @code{<4 6+>}.
Obviously it would make no sense for the FiguredBass context to eat
figured base requests. So this should be changed back to say that the
FiguredBass context eats note-requests and rest-requests.
I still think it would also make sense to have figured-bass.ly be a
little more extended to include examples of notes with no figure on
them.
