From another source:
We have also increased the minimum amount you are able to trade in the FIX live environment for FOREX to 1 micro lot for the time being for
performance reasons
So it is happening for performance reasons... could be that some automatic trading systems put too much pressure on the servers with many tiny orders.
The phrase "for the time being" means, that maybe they change this policy at some time in the future... we will see.
