Nope, the functionality of the button is that it presents a sheet asking
you whether you want to do a normal quit or a force quit - just as it did
in Snow Leopard. Also the tool tip text says the exact same thing as it
did. The shape and position of the button on the window are also the same.
The most significant thing that changed was the removal of the text label.

The target group for this particular application isn't thrown by a small
insignificant UI change!

It was more clear with the text label, but I don't think anyone has
disputed that.
