In my experience, that bug is not a issue with the firmware; it's a consequence of patching your Kobo. That is because with the patches you modify the line spacing options in the kepub renderer, making it much more 'narrow' than it is by default. So after patching and with certain fonts, using one of the lower line spacing options, this can happen.
And no, it's not recent.

But as I said, I read for at least a year and a half on an unpatched Kobo with various fonts, the same I've been using now, and I had never seen that problem before I started using the patches. So I am not sure you can call that a bug (?)
I noticed the same behavior as mathil with the line-spacing patch applied on my Kobo--i was getting cutoff lines at the bottom and tops of pages quite frequently. I've since turned off the line-spacing patch (left other patches running) and haven't seen the problem with cut-off lines since. If I remember correctly, I did see them once in a while before patching my Kobo, so don't know that the problem is totally related to the line-spacing patch, but I can confirm that having the patch applied makes the problem much more prevalent.
