The old clamps do not ground out or do anything different than your new clamps. What you are saying is not possible, unless your old clamps/terminals were conducting electricity to ground somehow. ie. they were touching something, or there was a trail of corrosion or a conductive path somewhere. Nothing to do with the clamps themselves.
Am I missing something?

Nope. I have been scratching my nuts over the same thing and believe someone is either blowing smoke, wishful thinking, or just did something he didn't realize he did when he replaced the terminals.
Besides, he has not replied back since the original post.
It is actually very simple to diagnose a parasitic drain on the battery using a voltmeter (with a 1 ohm resistor), and pull fuses until the drain stops and that is your problem circuit.
