It's not how SET operations per-se are handled that has changed,
but how *AgentX* SET operations are handled.

See
http://net-snmp.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/net-snmp/trunk/net-snmp/agent/mibgroup/agentx/protocol.c?r1=5289&r2=5431

for the relevant code change.  (SVN revision 5431, dated July 12th, 2001)

The behaviour of the UCD agent (which sent a response to the final Cleanup-Set
message) was wrong.  The AgentX specs clearly state that no response should
be sent following this message - see RFC 2741, section 7.2.4.4.   This error was
corrected for the Net-SNMPagent (certainly 5.1.x and above - possibly
5.0.x as well).
   This stage is mapped into the COMMIT phase of the {UCD,Net}-SNMP agent
SET processing when running as an AgentX subagent - hence the behaviour you
are seeing.
