Maybe your new Emacs was compiled without support for some image
types. What is the actual setting for display-time-mail-icon, and what
does this return:

(mapcar (lambda (type) (if (image-type-available-p type) type))
  image-types)

It was moved nearer the start so that it would be always visible. Not
that mysterious, surely?

You can probably customize mode-line-format. You want to move the
"mode-line-position" part after the "global-mode-string" part, I
imagine.
