Changing to defaults-file=/root/.my.cnf does work.

But it looks like it is requiring the defaults file to now have the datadir variable set.

Error: option 'datadir' has different values:
  '.' in defaults file
  '/var/lib/mysql/' in SHOW VARIABLES

After making these changes I was able to run a successful backup.

Side note, the new version forces secure_auth client side. This will cause issues with any lingering short passwords.
