This isn't a compatibility issue -- 1.5 doesn't know anything about "nodpi" so if you try to use it there you will not get the right result. (I am pretty sure what happens is it sees this as a really high dpi and thus scales it down.) It's just a case of not being able to use newer APIs on an older platform.
