This isn't really a bug per se.  The old driver was just broken :)  IIRC, the
old driver used to just add gtf server modes that matched the resolutions of
the modes in the edid, while the new driver actually uses the mode from the
monitor edid.  If you want to use the old mode, you'll have to specify the old
mode as a mode line in the monitor section of your config and set it to the
preferred mode or manually pick it with xrandr.  See this page for more info:

Make sure you associate the monitor section with the appropriate output.
