Since there has also been a change of compiler for 3.5, it wouldn't surprise me if there are odd problems where something just doesn't work. Can you reproduce the problem on Win 7 or newer? If it's just an XP problem, I suspect the devs won't be very much interested in fixing it (although if _you_ fix it, they may be willing to incorporate the change, assuming it doesn't break anything else).
