It is a bug but is not related to the client or the expansion. We continually add new things to the shard without bringing attention to them, and sometimes it doesn't work quite as expected.

It may take another day or two to fix this and other issues like pre-tamed spawns. It is a step forward though because it means spawns in truly random locations. No longer can people camp or just recall in and harvest certain rares!

I have severe problems with customizing my house. Here are several things I noticed in the process:
1) Do not overwrite things like archs and doors. They seem to "linger", so I had at some point doors in an arch. The only way to fix this was delete a thing, then save, then delete, then save, etc.
2) When deleting, UO kept raising the house's value
3) Things one deletes sometimes leave an invisible "ghost". For example I deleted stairs in my garden. I cannot cross the space where they stood, but I can step in the direction of the former stairs.
4) Walls set before suddenly vanished again, leaving open rooms or made death traps out of high balconies.

I don't know if it is a bug of the new client, but I did not exprience these problems before.

Edit:
It seems that, after the daily server save, those "ghost" images have disappeared, I can now access the places as one would expect. Those doors-and-archs-problems were still intact after restart, the solution is mentioned above. House value and wall status are unknown, I was hesitant to touch a now working design ;)

We are aware of house issues and are working on them. Since it does "eventually" work we didn't let that delay the release of the new server/client setup. Your error report is far more detailed than many others and has helped me track down where some of the issues are happening. The "phantom stairs after deletion" will be fixed right away.

You should see improvement very soon. The final goal is to have flawless house customization but don't forget it's still mostly our old code under the hood, being made to do things it was never designed to do!
