That's not mysterious.  It happened because we switched to using the
same options for building the Qt code as we use for the rest of
Octave, and if you are using GCC, that means using -Wshadow.  That
option wasn't present before when the Qt build was using different
options set in qmake config files.  So those problems were likely
always present, just not noticed because we weren't compiling with
-Wshadow.
