I actually found this to be a welcome new feature, providing a way to 
easily toggle between two workspaces without having to use two different 
key combinations or even necessarily remember which one you started 
from. Creative use, I thought, of a keybinding which would otherwise do 
nothing much useful at the time, simply taking you to where you already 
are.

However, I see your point, that you might actually want to get to 
Workspace N regardless of whether or not you are already there. And I 
believe you're in luck: the new behaviour can be turned off, in Settings 
-> Window Manager Tweaks -> "Remember and recall previous workspace when 
switching via keyboard shortcuts".
