The difference is that Openstreetmap has recently hit the 2^31-Limit for 
32-bit integers for node IDs. The old Openstreetmap plugin you use is 
not designed for 64-bit-integers, which spoils the import of the nodes, 
making the way invisible.

There is a new Openstreetmap plugin on the way, but only in QGIS Master 
and the upcoming QGIS 2.0.

HTH,
