I've had a quick look and tracked it down to a FORMAT_TRACK change I did
about a month ago.  The fix ensures that data present in the data fields of
the format data is transferred to the new sectors, rather than simply
zero-filling them.  This was needed to fix ProDos formatting, which filled
sectors with 0xe5 and added a header to the overall disk.  It appears that
MasterDOS also uses the same technique to set the disk label and some flags
(including directory size) in track 0 sector 1.

I'll release a new beta this week, which will include the automagical DOS
booting feature requested recently.  The Win32 version has had quite a few
other tweaks and changes, though not everything has filtered through to the
built-in user-interface yet.
