I'm not sure that I understand the problem that you are describing.

Do you mean to say that Yahoo images load normally, but nearmap images
do not?  That sounds like a configuration problem, or problem with
nearmap.  Have you configured a wms address for nearmap?

After updating josm you should update the josm plugins as well.  This
is automatic iirc.  I would expect your old nearmap wms link to have
been automatically upgraded with the josm / plugin upgrade.  Did
something change there?

If you have found a new bug, the josm bug reporting system is called
trac and you can find it here.  http://josm.openstreetmap.de
