Webhook null vs "null" change?

We noticed today, that since yesterday it seems the webhook json data is treating null differently.  ei:
"freshdesk_webhook": {
  "ticket_id" : 19,
  "ticket_cf_customfield" : "null"
}

Up till yeterday webhooks were sending out:

"freshdesk_webhook": {
  "ticket_id" : 19,
  "ticket_cf_customfield" : null
}

Was this an intentional change?  How are we to distinguish from the value null and a string null?  This is causing issues with our custom api integration.

This only seems to be affecting webhooks, not API responses.
