I manually created a grayscale gradient from black to white using the following code. Using version 0.70.1 it appeared as expected, however after updating to 0.71.0 it appeared as a quadratic gradient. The same effect also occurs when using full color and images.
Using 0.70.1

Using 0.71.0

I've uploaded the source code I used to generate these images here
In my troubleshooting so far, this effect is almost exactly an image editing "Multiply" effect, and values of each box are essentially the brightness squared.

Output vs. Input brightness
