That's because there are some other things different as well if you look
carefully.

How so ?

Below is a diff of the lazarus and fpc HTML pages. 
With the exception of some header and an extra unit, the
geneated HTML code is the same. The footer is added by sourceforge.

Like I said, the HTML generation algorithm has not changed. 
The css has, and this causes your problem. If you use the 
official fpdoc.css from FPC, the problem will go away.
