Not reproduced with Inkscape 0.48 and 0.48+devel r9785 on OS X 10.5.8, comparing the selection of nodes to Inkscape 0.47.

The same nodes are selected in all Inkscape versions with the two available modes for selecting 'adjacent' nodes:
a) hover a node and use the scrollwheel: selects nodes based on the spatial distance from the cursor
b) hover a node and use 'Ctrl+scrollwheel': selects nodes based on the linear distance measured along the path, only nodes in the same sub-path can be selected.

Tested with default preferences and those I normally use.

Please test again and make sure you either press 'Ctrl' in both Inkscape version, or that you select adjacent nodes by scrolling the mouse wheel without using a modifier (again in both versions).
