Huh?  It has _always_ returned a list of buffers or a buffer.

That changes nothing.  Look at the doc string of `find-file-noselect'.
That's what returns the list or buffer.  And we document its return
value as that list or buffer.  As we should.  And as we should for
`find-file' et al.  

Nothing changed; nothing fixed.  Reopening.
