Given the lack of proper support for the descriptor protocol in old-style classes and a couple other diverging behaviors, I wouldn't say that advising newcomers to use new-style classes is so pointless.

Yeah, but if you don't need descriptors, new-style classes don't buy you anything

Except being python-3000 ready wrt/ diverging behavious - like overriding __magic__ methods on a per-instance basis. Ok, this is certainly not a very common case, but still we've seen questions about this on this ng...

(except a slight slowdown in certain situations).
Dogmatic

"dogmatic" ???

use of new-style classes (or any other "new" feature) isn't "pythonic".

You're right to quote the word "new" here - how many years since Python grew a new object model explicitely intended to replace the original one ?
