You're not likely to get useful help without being a lot more specific.
In a quick test I don't see any difference in the behavior of decode()
since 9.4, so please show a concrete case where it behaves differently.

One possibility is that it's actually giving the same bytea output,
but it looks different because you have bytea_output set differently
in the two installations.
