I'm pretty sure the way it used to work was if you pressed Escape you
would stay on the current channel, but if you pressed M (the program
guide key) it would change the channel for you to the channel you were
on in the guide. I noticed the same as you in the past week or two but
didn't investigate much since I very very rarely watch live TV anymore
and we only have 5 channels here so changing channel is pretty easy.
