Not a regression, I believe it's always done that.  I blogged about it
last month, but didn't actually address it:

As I said, "This is a design conflict between the control image being
target agnostic and the host system needing to distinguish between files
uploaded into the same directory."

The thing is, if I rename the tarball then I should really rename the
directory the tarball extracts to so they match, which means either the
build has to use the $HOST name in setup-chroot or I need to rename the
directory before tarring it up.

Not a huge deal, but just icky enough I haven't done it yet, since the
problem it fixes is also minor.  The upload function sends it with a
host-specific name, nothing else in the native build cares about that at
the moment.
