AnandTech has a pretty good summary article on Apple's new "bar algorithm"
The iPhone 4 Redux: Analyzing Apple's iOS 4.0.1 Signal Fix & Antenna Issue
I think the image that best summarizes the issue can be found here:
The new algorithm (on the bottom of the figure) looks much more linear. It drops from 5 bars to 4 much earlier, and the transition below each bar after that seems pretty straight forward. As comparison, look at the signal strength width of the 3rd bar in the original iOS 4 -- as soon as you drop to 3 bars you almost immediately drop to 2 bars.
This whole thing reminds me of the Spinal Tap scene were the band member is telling the reporter that their amp goes up to 11, one more than the other guys'.
