I gathered that's because the testing procedure is different. The old test  
were made on testing equipment from Hasselblad, the new ones use the  
imatest procedure. Imatest is something you can do at home with a little  
investment. Other sites, like for instance Photozone.de, publish imatest  
results as well.

To go of at a tangent: Klaus from Photozone has said he will test all  
Pentax lenses he can get his hands on as soon as he has a 10Mp Pentax  
body. People in the EU might want to consider lending out their lenses to  
him. He covers the (insured) shipping. See his site for details.
