Looking through the newly added catalog listings, and noticed that all the new
ninjago minfigures along with a couple super heroes have the set number(s) in
their name. Is this the new normal?

Once again, this is where a tag system would be extremely helpful; put the set
numbers as tags so we don't clutter up the name.

No. This is used to help new inventory submitters find the minifigures to add
to the new inventories. Once they are in the new inventories, the numbers are
removed.

That's a really good way to manage the orphaned minifigs!
