Comment (by slambert):

 I also had a problem and might be able to provide more details.

 I had two instances of

 {{{
 <?php $posts = get_posts('numberposts=#&category=#'); ?>
 }}}

 running in a home.php template.  The first instance worked, the second did
 not.  I tested, using:


 {{{
 <?php print "<!-- There are ".count($posts)." posts -->"; ?>
 }}}


 and 0 posts were found.

 I tried using a different format:

 {{{

                 <?php
                 $args = array(
                         'numberposts' => 6,
                         'category' => 9,
                 );
                 $posts = get_posts('');
                 ?>
 }}}


 And no posts were found.

 I replaced the code with query_posts:

 {{{
 <?php $posts = query_posts( "cat=9&posts_per_page=6" ); ?>
 }}}


 And it worked as expected returning the posts.

 This changed for me upon update from 2.5 to 2.6.

 I hope this information helps.
