[gdal-dev] Problem with results on two different versions of gdal_wrap

Perhaps differences in the hdf driver between the two versions could
explain differences in output.

Try converting netcdf file to gtiff with gdal_translate (using one gdal
version), then try gdalwarp from that common gtiff file.
