It's definitely no coincidence. They also restructured the DVD releases in a somewhat unusual way specifically so that the first 13 episodes would be on 5 discs that end at episode 13. And in fact, early indications do suggest that the rest of what you suggested will likely be true as well -- shift in focus, change in ED, etc. But actually, the original Hayate anime also tended to have arcs that wrapped up right around the anime season breaks, so it's not exactly new either. But in any case, it all seems to be completely intentional.
