I'm not 100% sure if this is new behavior or I just didn't encounter this case before. At least I don't know of another way of de-assigning an IP from an interface without deleting the IP.

You need to edit the device and remove the assigned IP. This behavior has not changed from prior releases.

Ah yes, my bad. Thanks!
I shouldn't do these things when it's late ;)
