Interesting. Can you say more about what exactly happened? I’ve inspected a large number of users, all of which seem to have the “auto-subscribe to my comments” and “auto-subscribe to my posts” set, and also tried registering some new users, which also have that flag set. Did you experience them being set previously, and being unset after this update?
What do you mean did I “experience them being set previously”? Do you mean that they were previously optional? I didn’t know that and, clearly, was not paying attention.
Not only did I used to receive notifications for replies to my comments and then it stopped, but I still have a record of it. My bell shows the notification from you and then a notification from a month ago, missing a couple replies to recent comments.
I went to settings and turned on “auto-subscribe to replies to my comments” (and posts), the checkboxes shown in the image in this post. Since I knew that I wasn’t receiving notifications and had just figured out from this post that these setting existed, I wasn’t surprised to find them off.
Incidentally, the link to “User Settings” at the top of this post links to lessestwrong. You should probably be using relative links or something.

Interesting, I will look more into this. Just to be clear, what exactly did you do to start receiving notifications for your comments?
