What have you tried on your end to answer that?  Here are some
approaches:

  * Read the commit message in 3ed035ce3 (org.el: Clarify argument in
    org-todo's call to org-map-entries).  Does its explanation fit with
    your understanding?  Perhaps it's wrong or not written clearly, but
    it seems like a good starting point.

  * Drop the let-binding of org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region in
    org-todo, and try it out.  Does it work as before?  Better yet, step
    through the call of the function, comparing the behavior before and
    after.

  * Drop the let-binding and run the test I added in 8a2eb7d1b (org.el:
    Fix org-todo argument handling when looping over region).
