I can't tell why, but you should use the second method as it is the new 
signal/slot connection style.

This is because iface.activeLayer() is the currently selected layer in 
the legend. [0]
If you want to do so, you might want to connect all layers by browsing 
them using:
iface.mapCanvas().layers() if you want all the displayed layers actually 
displayed in the map
or
QgsMapLayerRegistry.instance(). mapLayers() if you want all the layers

Cheers,

Denis
