question of if-mib changes between releases

It appears that between net-snmp 5.2 and 5.3 code around the if-mib
implementation was changed. In particular the response to a get of certain
OIDs that are defined in the MIB but where the data is not supported on 
the platform
(Linux) has changed. Was this intentional? For conformance to an RFC? or
just a side effect of the caching that appears to have been added?
an example:

In 5.2 ( on the SLES platform) I get:
oracle:~ # snmpget  -v 1 -c xxx localhost ifInNUcastPkts.1
Error in packet
Reason: (noSuchName) There is no such variable name in this MIB.
Failed object: IF-MIB::ifInNUcastPkts.1

in 5.3 I get:
oracle:~ # snmpget  -v 1 -c xxx localhost ifInNUcastPkts.1
IF-MIB::ifInNUcastPkts.1 = Counter32: 0

Thanks,

Dennis.
