I think the latest patch, which changed it so that flamethrowers can kill mines, also added fairly significant friendly fire. It happens a bit in my latest shoutcast (check 4:27 for instance). That's pretty funny.

I believe that could've happened before the patch. Flames do aoe damage, though I believe friendly troops probably take less from it. This combined with the fact that it usually happenes when you are being fired at is why I don't think many people notice it. Though I don't really have any source other then personal experience.

I once had my flamers kill some of their own models when attacking another unit before the patch and yell "They're roasting us!"

Perhaps this has become more noticeable now, with the increase in point-blank deadliness?

Maybe also related to the change that allows flamers to roast mines.

Friendly Fire's been around since Beta. It used to be really potent too. I think they messed around with it and it stopped a few patches back except in very specific circumstances.
