Suddenly having to enter passcode when backing up an unlocked iPhone?

Well, this is new: When I start syncing my unlocked iPhone to my Mac (via iTunes), the process starts; and as soon as it reaches the stage where my iPhone is backed up to my Mac, the “enter your passcode” screen appears on my iPhone, titled “Enter Passcode to Start a Backup”. In the many (many) years of syncing/backing up my iPhone to my Mac, this has never happened when the iPhone is unlocked – i.e., the iPhone is awake, the desktop is visible, etc. Anyone else seeing this behavior recently?…
