Data Loader exports pick list API names instead of values

With Spring '17 release I'm now receiving only API names of picklist values instead of picklist value labels. To reproduce, make sure that labels and api names of your picklist values are different and make a data export containing that picklist. You'll see that only api names of the picklist values will come through. This is also true for any other API integration.
Is there a known issue for this that I could follow?
