The issue here is that you're using a card that does not support xrandr 1.2, which is required by gnome-display-settings. I'll add a version check so it gives you an error dialog instead of a non-functioning Apply.
Mikael Nilsson, the issue you are seeing is that gnome-settings-daemon is not restarted automatically as part of the upgrade process, so you may notice Apply doesn't work until a reboot. If you think this is a serious enough issue that we should look into it, please enter a new bug report. (Possibly there is a way to force gnome-settings-daemon to restart with the upgrade.)
