That's a feature, but it is not new, it was introduced in 22.1. Also,
in the default emacs -q setup, the arguments are lowercase *italics*.

You can customize the help-argument-name face. Or, if you really want
your uppercase args back, you can do
(defun help-default-arg-highlight (arg) arg)
FWIW, for cases like these I think there should be a
help-argument-highlight-function var, set to
help-default-arg-highlight, so the user could just assign another
function to it instead of having to redefine the existing one. But
Richard opposed adding such a variable:
