Ah, apparently yes.. Corrected..

Hmm, so it has.. Mint 15 scribus-trunk (from daily build PPA) is
1.5.0svn201401280304-29~ubuntu13.04.1 whereas the same scribus-trunk
for Mint 16 is 1.5.0svn201404221504-29..

Damn, so now I either have to upgrade my Mint 15 to 16 or try
compiling it by hand to verify if the cause for the change is the
other machine or some change in code. Well, probably code..

But, nevertheless, while this probably somewhat solves my problem it
doesn't explain why the document is broken in 1.4.3..
