Tail keeps dropping in acro mode since dev20120504

Hi,
Did not read anyone else reporting, but it seems since dev20120504 the tail on my Tri keeps dropping (nose up) if I increase throttle, or if I fly forward.
Without constant forward stick (nose down command), the tail seems to drop, as if wanting to brake automatically.
If I keep the pitch stick neutral, and come from fast forward flight, the tails drops initially, but then seems to level off again.
It's kind of the behaviour you get from a trainer plane, which also tends to pick up the nose in a dive.
In steady hover, all is fine.
Just re-loaded dev20120414 and that is perfect again. It will maintain pitch attitude perfect were I left it... PID settings default on both.
Anyone else noticed this.
I guess this might have been added on purpose, but I find this behaviour very annoying
Is there some way of de-activating so it maintains the attitude we put it in ?
I'm definitely not critical. I really like this project, and very much appreciate the work that has gone into it.... just curious if this was intentional or not, and if it can be 'deactivated' It still flies fine like this, but I liked it a lot better as it was before.
Trying to get the EOSBandi's GPS version dialed in, which is great. But as that is based on dev20120504, is suffers from the same pitch behaviour.
I would stay at 0414 if it wasn't for the GPS...
BTW: flying a Flyduino mega, with WM+, BMA-020, HS5883, BMP-085. Perfect level mode also, no vibration related issues. Tried with gyro smoothing on/off.... no improvement. in 20120414 also without gyro smoothing everyting perfect.
