additionally, with 2.99.916-1 (bad), xdpyinfo shows:
dimensions: 2560x1440 (677x381 millimeters)
resolution: 96x96 dots per inch

and with 2.99.914-4 (good)
dimensions: 2560x1440 (294x165 millimeters)
resolution: 221x222 dots per inch


xrandr on the other hand shows correct dimensions (294x165 mm) with both the new and the old driver.

Occurs for me too.
Couldn't find an existing upstream report, so I filed https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=83829
