Sure, that's possible. It happens occasionally with updated user-land binaries, especially system-related ones (eg something like X or SElinux or whatever).
Or perhaps a configuration change meant that if you recompiled the "good" kernel, you now recompiled a different config? Or did you re-use the exact same kernel image you had originally?

Ok, that's a much bigger bisection thing, but again, even just narrowing it down a bit will help. But check the configuration too before you start.
