This is not a new feature - but it should not behave the way you describe. What should happen is that spectre doesn't restart unless the design changed - to make it quicker. If a parameter changes, that can be passed directly from ADE to spectre, and this saves the startup time, netlist reading, and license checkout.
However, something is clearly going wrong here. I suggest you contact customer support via your normal channel. As a short term measure, you can do:
envSetVal("spectre.envOpts" "controlMode" 'string "batch")
in the CIW before starting ADE, and this will force spectre to restart every time. The downside is that this slows things down a bit with parametric sweeps and so on.
Regards,
Andrew.
