I think I found the issue:
The code for getAssoc() method is looking for helpers the old way, i.e.

		else
		{
			$hname = $cname . 'HelperAssociation';
			\JLoader::register($hname, JPATH_SITE . '/components/' . $component . '/helpers/association.php');

			$assoc = class_exists($hname) && !empty($hname::$category_association);
		}

		return $assoc;

but not only the helpers folder does not exist anymore for com_content as it is now
/Helper/AssociationsHelper.php
but also the class has no more component name
i.e. it is class AssociationsHelper extends \CategoryHelperAssociation
instead of
abstract class ContentHelperAssociation extends CategoryHelperAssociation

This explains why it still work for com_contact but not for com_content...
Briefly said, it's all broken...
