The beams are better in that they are not so far away from the whole notes any more, but it's still not ideal. > While the old behaviour is not optimal, the new > one looks really worse to me, especially in bar 3 (which is admittedly > a quite artificial example). The most important issue for me: Why is > there no slant of the beams? I wanted to ask the same: According to Gardner Read (p. 236-237) and Kurt Stone (p. 150-151), the beams of whole-note tremolos are slanted like with shorter durations with stems, but the beams are placed centered between the whole notes (i.e. not where an imaginary stem would end!). The only situation where an imaginary stem is used to determine the position/slant of the beams is in cross-staff tremolos. If you want, I can take images of those pages.
