The old passport was made under old laws and regulations so they will be applicable until the expiry of the passport. I think you need not worry about this.

If they had any issues they would have mentioned it very early on. I believe their are many applicant who have applied with old passports.

Lets see if anyone else in forum with experience can comment on this issue.
