No. It definitely does not. (Before, on the quiet, it indeed wrote the  
paper size into the PDF output, but *this* exactly is *not* the  
mission of the hyperref package.) Maybe prosper is doing something  
which was overruled by hyperref before.

There are some obstinate things in LaTeX with the paper size  
(remember: TeX and the Lamport macros were written to create output on  
proprietary formats like "letter", "ledger", etc.). It's not enough to  
set it in tlmgr, you better either

• specify the paper size when loading the class
• load geometry which takes the default size from /usr/local/texlive/ 
texmf-local/tex/latex/geometry/geometry.cfg (contents:  
\ExecuteOptions{a4paper})
