BUT even for that, there are more intelligent, if less straightforward adventuring options for BM around.
Yes, this was my original reaction too. I was much more interested in seeing the ZGG modules as well as the original versions.
The main change in the 2007 WotC edition is that it
a) is set 20 years after the original
b) Has St. Stephen now be a vampire.
As you say, neither of these twists are awfullly clever.
The one thing that did make me think about it again now is the question of who turned him into a Vampire in the first place? The most obvious candidate is of course Sir Fang or one of his spawn (Jenkins or the Dwarf Vampires etc).
Could Sir Fang have made it into the swamps sometime after the Great Vampire Hunt?
