Well I got a look at the new 2006 DIY cube.  Craig is right-- these do 
seem to be all-new manufacture.  The corner cap gap is less than 1mm, 
a little smaller than I imagined.  Also the arched centers are no 
longer grafted on to flat centers (look closely at the 2005 centers).  
Instead it all seems to be one molded piece.  Regarding the edges 
catching on the centers-- I did also experience that, but only when 
the caps were still off.  Finally, one other difference is the 
manufacturing code is absent (i.e. M1005B imprinted on one corner cap).

BTW, the white DIY arched centers exist:

Hope they start selling the kits again soon.
