No, it worked with old dired-x, even when dired-omit-files-p was set
in .emacs before dired-x is loaded, because dired-omit-files-p
was defined by defcustom.  Just try in the old version:

(progn
 (custom-set-variables '(dired-omit-files-p t))
 (require 'dired-x)
 dired-omit-files-p)

and it sets dired-omit-files-p to t globally.
