Yes even my shaver has a low voltage cut off. Its bloody annoying as some
days it won't start until you plug in the mains as obviously the starting
current drops the volts too low but when its running you can unplug it and
continue shaving!
Bloody technology.

Does anyone know if these batteries have current and voltage discharge
limiting built into them?

Hmm, 20V is a funny voltage for a lithium pack - it would seem to be
5-and-a-half cells. Unless it's really a 5-cell 18v pack with some added
marketing (declare each cell to be 4v not 3.6v).

Ah yes, there's even a little graph that says so (p4):

I would have expected they would put the monitoring in the battery rather
than the tool, especially since you could swap in a higher capacity
battery.
If it's the same as in the leaflet above, there's a button to get the
battery state on the side - I'd be very surprised if there wasn't also a
low
voltage cutoff built in.
