I hadn't thought of this, but that could very well explain it. Maybe 1.6 was updated to match the Kindle's flaky (due to no hyphenization) justification. If that's true, increasing the font size will make the issue more and more noticeable.

EDIT: Doing some of my own tests with 1.6, I'm seeing the same behavior you are. I don't have version 1.5 to compare, but I truly believe that 1.6 is more accurately portraying the way your text will look on an actual Kindle device than 1.5 was (especially if 1.5 was portraying flawless justification on the Kindle device emulations).
