Updated Viewer doesn't like transparency?

I just downloaded the update. Works well, except for one thing. Transparent textures seem to be completely broken. I'll show you two images to illustrate my point.

This first image is outside. You can see my building where the windows are, a tree, and then a wall I put up on the end of my land to block a crappy view.

This next one is from inside. See how the windows and that tree get completely fouled up? It didn't do that in the other viewer. Am I missing something?

What previous version are you referring to?

I've seen that kind of thing happening all over the place since Windlight.

I'm using 1.23 now. Last night I was using 1.22, and everything looked pretty good. Something in 1.23 is different, causing that problem there.

UPDATE: If I move that big green wall, the problem seems to go away. However at that point, I have to look at the disgusting neighbors, which isn't an option.

But I figured it was worth noting that the treeline is significantly to blame.

FIXED: Phantom.

I looked at the wall prims there, and they were phantom. So it's phantom and not transparency that's being an issue.
