This is not a regression. This is not even a bug.
Our documentation
https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Copying_Attributes_With_the_Clone_Formatting_Tool
is rather clear on it:

> By default only the character formatting is copied ; to include paragraph
> formatting, hold down Ctrl when you click. To copy only the paragraph
> formatting, hold down Ctrl+Shift when you click.

This was different before 3.6, which release notes
(https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/3.6) mention the change:
> Format paintbrush now differentiates automatic character formating
> attributes applied to a paragraph from those applied to a portion of the
> text inside a paragraph. These automatic character formating attributes are
> applied to the entire paragraph by default; if Ctrl is held while the format
> is passed, these attributes are applied to only the selected text.

... which refers to the commit mentioned in comment 14.

The problem is that manual formatting appends instead of overwrite, yes; but
please concentrate on real bug, not on expected behavior.
