This seems pretty inconsequential, but the display order of wonders when you hit the F7 key is messed up. The 4 new wonders (Artemis, Zeus, Templar, Maussollos) appear at the end of the list, regardless of the era you are in.

This is my second try at the epic game and it has happened in both. In my current game, I am researching motorized transport. I own Theory of Evolution, Hoover Dam, and Universal Suffrage, but the 4 new wonders all appear after them on the list. It seems logical to me that they should appear with the other ancient age wonders.
 
This has always been this way (shown by previous scenarios that added wonders) and has to do with the nature of the game setup; when Civ3 was designed, the order of the Wonders was essentially hard-coded into the basic game. When more wonders are added, they will always be tacked on to the end of the list, instead of showing up within their respective eras. Unfortunately, like so many areas of the game that are hard-coded, it would probably take a large amount of reworking just to make it display properly.

Personally, I'd rather see them all listed alphabetically, regardless of the era in which they were built... but that's likely just as difficult to implement.
