At the end you'll see that the v2 lens can frame the same subject size at a slightly closer distance. So in your first comparison, you could have slid the v2 almost 1/2" closer to achieve the same framing and it would have been in line with this comparison. Also, the v2 lens has a magnification factor of .21x at MFD as opposed to the v1, which is .29x at MFD. That explains why the v1 framing point is slightly farther back.

Or to put it more succinctly as DC did, don't worry about it.
Well that was easy. Thanks. I was just wanting to make sure it wasn't a defect of sorts. As long as that's what it's supposed to be, i won't be worrying about it.
