Well if there was a bug it is gone now. And as you didn't
investigated the problem and didn't show a minimal example there is
no way to tell what exactly went wrong. My guess would be that is
has something to do with hyperref. It sets page sizes too -- and it
has been updated more than once in the last weeks.
