No, it is bigger than that...
Take for instance the latest version of iphoto: when you click the red circle on a window, it should close the window but leave the program running. This has been true of OSX since the beginning, but in iphoto and a number of recent apple apps when you click the red circle it actually exits the program. This confused me the first couple times I used it and is only true with the latest version of iphoto.
I assume this change and some others are aimed to make the programs act more similar to windows so converts feel more comfortable after then change-over, but this is a serious UI problem since it causes inconsistencies between programs.
There are other problems, but I thought I would point this one out as it can be very annoying.
