Thanks for your bugreport.
I can reproduce this and I fixed the empty new section on a fresh install now by just hidding it if we have no data. That
seems to be the least risky change at this point.
In the first screenshot the top rated its not actually sorted by "newness" but instead by randomness, there is no data on either new nor rating available at this point.In the second screenshot what appears to be "new" is again more or less random as at this point all applications have the same "cataloged time" value (the data/time of the fresh install).
