I'm pretty sure it's always been like this as I don't think Teamspeak knows who's the team leader in each channel, so it can't make only them hear the whispers can it? Even if it did, what would happen if the leader gets killed, the rest of the team would have no way to communicate with the other teams.
I actually think it's helpful to be honest, as if we hear the other team leaders call in "Bravo, this is Alpha", the team members (should) know to stop talking (unless they need to communicate an immediate threat, in which case they should be able to call "Break" to override everyone), otherwise we're talking over them making it hard for our team leaders to receive orders. If the team leader has to say "command" and wait for people to stop talking, then he's going to end up having to ask the other person to repeat what he was saying which wastes time.
I don't see any harm in the team members hearing the orders either as it allows them to get an idea of what's being planned, so they can get ready, check the map, etc, which can avoid the team leader having to waste time briefing them when we might need to get a move on and just give a quick brief in case anyone wasn't listening to the whispers.
