As a workaround you could either Chop the input or output
fnc = Interpolation[{{0, 0}, {2, 2}}, InterpolationOrder -> 1];
fnc[Chop[N[I]/I]]
1.
Chop[fnc[N[I]/I]]
1.
or redefine the function definition to include Chop
fnc = Interpolation[{{0, 0}, {2, 2}}, InterpolationOrder -> 1][Chop[#]] &;
fnc[N[I]/I]
1.
fnc = Chop[Interpolation[{{0, 0}, {2, 2}}, InterpolationOrder -> 1][#]] &;
fnc[N[I]/I]
1.

On a second try, the 1. I/I example worked. However, fnc[N[I]/I] does not. I did find a fix for my immediate problem, but my point is that the behavior of Mathematica has changed, and it is more insidious than the way approximate values are displayed.
