these (single new posts in different areas) didn't show up in orange but had the 'new' note...

I think this is how it has always worked.

One thing to be cautious of, though, is this: if you open a forum, and you have a whole bunch of orange icons indicating unread threads, then exit the forum, and then exit the bbs, when you re-enter the bbs all of those orange icons from that forum will be "un-oranged" as though you had read them when in fact you have not.
