No, it doesn't. I just tested it. Given that the test failure seems to
be caused by differences between result and reference, and bowtie2 2.3.1
introduced different default values for one of the parameters [1], it
might be likely that it's connected to that. I have contacted upstream
[2] -- they are usually quite responsive.

Cheers
Sascha
