Indeed.

It is now *obsolete* and its behavior has intentionally been changed as 
noted here:

Allowing header args to be processed (as before) also allows for arbitrary 
code to be executed.  The point of setting ‘org-export-use-babel’ or 
`org-export-babel-evaluate' to nil was to prevent this.  For that reason 
the former behavior was a bug.
