MP, Instant Tourney, best hand South

At the other tables, using an older version of GIB, North bids a quiet 4 where my North bid 5.

I don't mind being told that I am off base here, if that is the case, but I prefer GIB's previous evaluation.

I thought BBO was only going to use robot tournaments using the current version of GIB so there was a level playing field.

That is the case with robot tourneys EXCEPT "Instant" tourneys. These tourneys are picked up from a while back. At YOUR table all robots are current version. But the comparisons are frozen according to the version in force when the tourneys were originally played.
