[OS X TeX] change of paper size when updating to TL2010?

Dear all

I have a funny problem that kept me busy all day. I am recompiling some old
material in Prosper - I know it's old but as long as it works... - and since
updating to texlive 2010 the text is no more centered, as if the papersize
option had been changed some way through the process. Example.tex is a
minimal example of my slides, with the preamble I use. Example2009.pdf and
Example2010.pdf are the two outputs, obtained just by changing the
distribution in the distribution panel of System Preferences.
I use latexmk as pointed out by the %!TEX TS.... line
In the old times when I was using MikTex I remember running into a similar
problem, that I solved by giving the a4paper option to the dvips or ps2pdf
program. But here if I run in the terminal

Antonio-Cosmas-MacBook-Air:~ acosma$ tlmgr paper
Current context paper size (from
/usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf-config/tex/context/user/cont-sys.tex): a4
Current dvipdfm paper size (from
/usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf-config/dvipdfm/config/config): a4
Current dvipdfmx paper size (from
/usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf-config/dvipdfmx/dvipdfmx.cfg): a4
Current dvips paper size (from
/usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf-config/dvips/config/config.ps): a4
Current pdftex paper size (from
/usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf-config/tex/generic/config/pdftexconfig.tex):
a4
Current xdvi paper size (from
/usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf-config/xdvi/XDvi): a4

So the paper size should be the right one for all programs (exactly the same
output to 'tlmgr paper' with TL2010, I avoid pasting twice).
Having a look at example2010.log line 276, it seems that hyperref is
overruling th a4paper option. Is this possible? I know for instance that
hyperref is not compatible with HA-Prosper (that is one of the reasons why
Powerdot came out).

Has anyone run across something similar?

thanks in advance

Antonio
