Can you answer a couple of questions:
When you used your 350D did you have a custom camera profile for use in Qimage? There is not one available yet for the 500D so that prompts me to ask what have you what raw preferences are set to in Qimage? It looks as though you may have sRGB set rather than Adobe RGB.
Using Adobe RGB will give more saturated colours than sRGB, and a custom profile will be better still.
Check you raw settings and let us know how you get on.

I did not use a camera custom profile for the 350d.
Raw preference is set (now) to Adobe - that makes it slightly better (after rebuilding thumbs) than the thumbs I posted (I tried sRGB before starting this topic, checking out the options). Still, I'm not greatly impressed.
