Koma is first saving the first line to the variable toname, and the
second to toaddress and latter it uses the variables inside groups:

\usekomafont{addressee}{%

\usekomafont{toname}{\usekomavar{toname}\\}%

\usekomafont{toaddress}{\usekomavar{toaddress}}}}

 This enables special font settings for toname and toaddress but means
also that font switches in the first line are local to toname. 

It is quite possible that this behaviour is quite new, but it is
intended and certainly not a bug.

Use the scrlttr2 interface to change the font in the address fields. 
Or add a \bfseries to the second line.
