For reference, the images:

Those images look like you have depth of field enabled in P12. That would create areas that are fuzzier based on distance from the camera. I think that likely explains the apparent quality differences.

But for your other point, although for many purposes DPI is basically meaningless and only resolution really matters, and DPI can be changed without changing a single pixel if the resolution remains the same, DPI is still denoted in many types of image files, and that DPI may affect for example the size of the image when you embed it, or if you print it in an application that does not give you the opportunity to do any scaling, etc. It's apparent from your comparisons that Poser is failing to write that information and the images remain at the default DPI of the format. Given your comparison between P11 and P12, that bug must have appeared new in P12.

If resolution remains constant and DPI changes, then necessarily the image size must change, because any of those values is a function of the other two (regardless of the application).
