[tex-live] Minimal Example where TL2011 breaks typesetting that worked in TL2010 (positioning on page)

TeXLive developers --

	I've uncovered an annoying behavior in TL2011 that's causing things 
that were positioned correctly with TL2010 LaTeX get positioned 
elsewhere on the page in TL2011 LaTeX. I've pasted the example code at:

http://pastebin.com/sGRpm7uE

I have also attached it (test.tex) to this message. Build it with:

latex test.tex
dvips test.dvi
ps2pdf test.ps

and open the resulting test.pdf. When I build it on my Arch Linux system 
with TL2010, it (correctly?) produces the attached 
test_ArchLinux_TeXLive_2010.pdf, which has a space between the upper 
title region and the dashed box. However, when I build it on my TeXLive 
2011 Fedora system, I get the test_Fedora_14_TeXLive_2011.pdf, which has 
the dashed box shoved up against the upper title region.

	I have noticed other similar problems where objects that were 
positioned in one spot on a page (e.g., centered between two points) are 
now shifted slightly to the left (e.g., now overlapping with something 
on the left).

	Best --
