OK, I uploaded a version of the fixed Fairy-Max now that prints as version number 5.0b2. You could try that to know for sure you are using a fixed version. But in preparing it I noticed something EXTREMELY WEIRD, which might be the same thing as that you are facing:
I am using Windows 8.1. When I replaced the old Fairy-Max with the new one, it seems both continued to exist, and double-clicking the file would run the new one, but WinBoard would run the old one. If I renamed the file, the new one got renamed, and both names would work in WInBoard, the reamed one printing the new version, the old name (no longer existing in the folder) would print the the old version number.
[Edit] It seems that the old one it is running is in the same folder as winboard.exe. I also had an fmax.exe there. When I renamed that to yet another name, I get an error message when I use the old name. But I can still choose between the old (in the WinBoard folder) and the new (in the sub-folder Fairy-Max) by just changing the nameof the .exe. I don't understand how it can run files in different folders by just changing the file-name.
