The previous behavior of positioning the frame at (0, 0), while it has been around for a long time, was a bug, and since it produces bad results when the taskbar is at the top of the screen, it was appropriate to fix the bug. Please, someone tell me how many Windows users reposition their task bar to the *top* of the screen? For the 3 users worldwide who might do that: they can use default-frame-alist or hack the registry to solve their "problem" - please save the rest of the users that trouble.
