Agree that this behavior change seems unintentional.

Why not change it like this instead:

@@ -681,7 +681,8 @@ DefineRelation(CreateStmt *stmt, char relkind, Oid
ownerId,
         Assert(list_length(inheritOids) == 1);
         tablespaceId = get_rel_tablespace(linitial_oid(inheritOids));
     }
-    else
+
+    if (!OidIsValid(tablespaceId))
         tablespaceId = GetDefaultTablespace(stmt->relation->relpersistence,
                                             partitioned);

Thanks,
