I wish this post had gotten more traction and at least some comments when it was posted here. I have seen the same (second hand, since I don't use Instagram) and believe that there is something sinister going on. Instagram had a few months of the beta releases to test this out and make sure that it works as the users would expect it to. What Instagram is doing now is trying to dissuade the user from using the select photos option and annoy the user into just giving permissions for the full photo library.

Every new privacy feature that Apple releases on iOS, there's a Facebook company standing in its way and trying to thwart it. Really shameless!
