But it worked in 1.5.2 ?
Did you get to 1.5.2 after a chain of upgrades and 1.5.3 from scratch ?
There's never been a SetSRID taking BOX3D, but implicit casts transformed
that BOX3D into a GEOMETRY, passing the latter to SetSRID.

What's the exact error PostGIS is giving you back ?

Funny that you mention, as we're actually planning to make a BOX derivate
of GEOMETRY for 2.0
