bzip2 did change its compression slightly in 1.0.3. Gentoo had that problem before with its deltas and the scripts handle it now.
Ouch! That's an absolute showstopper if it's not compatible. Why didn't they increase the major number?
It's completely compatible. Just the compressed bytestream is not identical - so the generated ISO should work 100% but the MD5SUM is different. This is only a problem if you rely on the compressed output being identical on two different systems - a use case i only encountered with deltas of compressed files (dtu's in gentoo and deltarpms for suse).
