Also, if you copy the entire text of the example file, the letters in the last
line are shown before the ones in the first lines.
The extraction of the text from DVI did not change from the last version. I
tried also the file with Okular 0.10.5 (KDE SC 4.4.5) and it works.

DVI gives one box for each letter, so, as you wrote...

... I'd say the former (regression).
