Someone asked for this, so I put it in.  The idea being that it's 
clearer that no game is in progress when you start.

Looks like a problem with the 3d quick draw code, have you got this 
option set (and also set in the older installation)?

I thought it was related to the new start position but I couldn't 
recreate the problem here.

Does the position update if you resize the window?

Do you use the same settings file for both versions?

Can you also try disabling your graphics card to rule that out:
Display properties->advanced->trouble shooting->hardware acceleration 
set to "none".  Then start gnubg.
