I probably wouldnt even touch the Foreground Selection Tool, but OP's question is whether the behaviour has changed from V 2.8 to 2.10, and im afraid nobody here can answer that.
As far as i can tell the tool has been improved, but only the developer can answer that for sure, right ?
Personally, i think most of these theoretical cases are not really relevant, because it always depends on the context and the image.
Some images work better than others. The problem is the expectation to get the job done in one step with one very specific tool.
Im a 100% with you and your technique, but im afraid thats not what OP wants to hear.
In the end, making a selection with the lasso or the paths tool in combination with a layermask will always give you the best job, but for some applications a rough job with a different tool might be good enough.
