This change in 4.0 fixed a longstanding bug in previous RT versions
which would ignore your carefully constructed display format and just
spew everything into your spreadsheet.  In fact, there was a popular
extension that implemented the current 4.0 behavior.

As noted by Jeff Blaine, you'll want to have your users update the
Display Format of their searches and save them.

It's certainly possible to create a second export that brings back the
old behavior if you're so inclined..
