TCP/IP, DHCP & DNS Don't work that way.
Consider yourself very lucky it worked at all.
And if you require a static IP for device A to always be seen by Device B, then there is a major problem with your DHCP server.

Seriously though, I expect when iOS5 connected to a non Apple, if it saw a gateway IP set in stone it will have mapped it to the 3G IP, and it worked.
Change is fine, nice if they added that to changelogs to alert users. No doubt the vast majority use auto IP assigning on their wifi laptops, etc, but some of us require a static internal IP to allow device A to always be seen by device B.

Subject: Re: [iPad] iPhone5 Hotspot Update
My Win 7 laptop wifi was set to use specific IP addresses.I assigned an internal static IP, subnet mask, default gateway which is my ADSL modem/wifi router.
I disabled that and set it to obtain IP addresses automatically, and all good.
Why is it that my wifi settings worked before?? iOS6 they don't
