Looking at the source this seems to have always been the way things were. That this is intentional. This is likely because some consoles are very slow (such as serial) and the output will be in dmesg at least. As turning loglevel up to do the dump (the equivalent of sysrq doing it automatically) can trivially be triggered from sysrq too its probabally not going to change as this gives the best of both worlds. This should probabally be clearly documented in the sysrq documentation.
