Well I just tried it myself with the Azores Example KML loaded it and saved it and it was still ok and I didn't detect a problem with google 5.0. (but checked with
FSET only not FSEM no time for)
On save you have to select your folder only dont forget.
If you have it and I not it mayight be a country setting specific problem. for example german write numberes 3,14156 whereas rest of world 3.14156
The coordformat in the KML that Google stores should belike this -25.69061487704684,37.7344451461804,0 that menas 3 values separated with comma.
Then there should come a space and again 3 values separated with comma.
This is the end of my example KML file:
-25.69061487704684,37.7344451461804,0
-25.69396020533202,37.73451294759943,0
-25.69555862021623,37.73482921086291,0 </coordinates>
</LinearRing>
</outerBoundaryIs>
</Polygon>
</Placemark>
</Folder>
</Document>
</kml>
so you should check your new KML file (that doesn't works) and compare it with the old one(that works)
the fastest way to do ist to rename them into .xml files and double click on them to open it in the browser.
Then you should see the difference.
depending on the difference correcting it might be an language setting option in google earth if there is one (take switzerland instead germany as example) or
open and save it with another kml tool hope that that one corrects it or write a converting prog.
