I finally found the responsible change:

(gnus-mime-display-single): Call `mm-display-inline' instead of
calling `mm-insert-inline', to decode text/* parts before displaying
them.
----------------------------

I'm not sure what the goal of this change was, but rendering text/html
with the settings...

  (setq mm-automatic-display (remove "text/html" mm-automatic-display))

... should not happen.
