I don't think it's anything new. The Aspect experiment kind of implied this anyway as far as I can tell. Reality is in some way probabilistic. It's only a problem if you wnat to concieve of reality as a deterministic billiard ball model at the micro level.
All it shows is that when we try to translate quantum theory into English it doesn't fit any of our standard concepts. Since we evolved to deal with medium size objects travelling quite slowly, it doesn't really surprise me. In a way it's astonishing that we have developed a set of mathematical tools that can model quantum phenomena at all.
