Well, my opponent was fully aware about the rule change and assumed the money would be taken away sometime in the not too distant future. Made sense for him to spend a chunk now (about 800k for his dorfs) and surely helped to win the game. But it ruined the Lustrian tourney for me. Consequence: I will stay away from ranked, box and FUMBBL tourneys for a while.

The way it works now is inline with the BB2016 rules.
I would suggest everyone picks up a set of the rules if they can.

The client log explicitly states where the money comes from.
Seriously, you didn't wonder why you are getting so many inducements all of a sudden? Nor your 3 opponents? Instead your first and only thought was: oh lots of money, nice! Quick, spend it!
Please don't get yourself a credit card! ;-)

Well, it's not always that clear. The client offered me 50k yesterday, but since I was aware of the change and vaguely remembered out TV difference was slim, I checked twice to make sure I don't accidentally spend money I wanted to save (turns out 30k were my treasury, 20k inducement bonus).
Especially in such a case I can easily imagine how coaches just take the Babe or a card without much consideration.
And yes, it's in the log - but I rarely look at it. I agree that it's a major pitfall for many coaches.
