I found the following in the release notes:

Change file boundary handling of two WAL file name functions
(Kyotaro Horiguchi, Andres Freund, Bruce Momjian)

The functions pg_walfile_name() and pg_walfile_name_offset() used to report the previous
LSN segment number when the LSN was on a file segment boundary; it now returns the LSN segment.

It might be trivial, but, reading the associated commit message , I think it would be more explicit
for users to rewrite the last statement to

"it now returns the current LSN segment."
