Well, that's quite common with fast glass. Wide open, the contrast is a bit lower than slightly stopped down. It's well visible in the bokeh fringing samples, but these are shot at rather close focus, where many lenses lack contrast anyway. So, the issue is emphasized in these shots.
In the field, it's less of an issue though. And, at least when shooting RAW, the cure is quite simple and only one slider move away <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

I'll try, but I'm traveling for a few days and don't have that lens with me. Anything you're particularly interested in?

Just see if you can find some difficult/ busy back rounds that you can find. And how the new 50mm 1.8G handles them. If possible, do some side by side test with the other 50mm lenses that you have.
Looking at the samples again, it really looks like the bokeh has GREATLY improved! And there seems to be a lack of massive purple fringing.
