Can someone remind me why this is such a screaming issue?

It's not screaming it's alarming. Your western Bible is based on Hebrew OT, while the NT is chock-full of Septuagint-based OT quotes. As you probably surmized, the Apostles used LXX; Luther decided it was the Hebrew text that was 'more better.' But, then again, that was not the only thing Luther didn't get right.

IOW: we ain't readin' the same Bible, got it?

On top of which Protestants claim to be saved by their Bible's alone. Reading the wrong version is a pretty big deal for them. (Less so for the Orthodox, who don't view the Bible as the standalone guide to Christianity or the sole source of doctrine)
