Oliver,

I think your problem is the coordinate system definition.  It includes
+datum=potsdam and +nadgrids. These will conflict and it isn't necessarily
clear whether PROJ.4 will use the +towgs84 definition expanded from the
+datum, or will use the +nadgrids values.  I'd guess the potsdam datum
was unknown (and so unexpanded) in the older version and now it does get
expanded and the towgs84 used instead of the nadgrids statement.  Instead
try using:

+proj=tmerc +lat_0=0 +lon_0=12 +k=1.000000 +x_0=4500000 +y_0=0
   +ellps=bessel +units=m +no_defs  +nadgrids=./BETA2007.gsb

Best regards,
