Is the motivation known for this change? Any clue from commit history?

  There has not been a change, it's always worked like this. ICANN only reserved *.internal for use in internal networks a few months ago.

    This. I suppose they use a list of TLDs to check if something looks like a domain, and .internal is not on the list and needs to be hardcoded.
