That is odd. Mathematica is usually good about backwards compatibility. That sounds like a change in the under lying numerical solver.

Well, if it was a lying numerical solver...

Seriously: I think they will make breaking changes if the existing code turns out to be mathematically incorrect. That may or may not have been the case here.
