Nope.

Activating Battle Voice requires that the Bard be playing a song, that has not changed. The range of BV also has not changed and is still set at 20 yards. Songs are 25 yards. Ideally anyone receiving Battle Voice will always be under the effect of one of the Bard songs.

What this change does is make sure that BV still lands in specific cases where, for whatever reason (like if you press one and then the other really quickly), the other players in the group do not have the effect of your song on them. If it's a buff, it's an exceptionally minor one.

The Troubadour change is indeed a buff, but one by way of fixing a design flaw with the skill itself - that it didn't affect the Bard as well was simply a flaw in how it was designed.
