When you installed the new one, did you make sure the "jiggle valve" was at the top? If so, you may have trapped an air bubble right at the thermo.
The only problem with the air in the cooling system theory, is that it such a thing usually causes a car to run on the hot side...
It's possible that you may have had a bad replacement to begin with. It's happened to me before (different car) - I pulled my hair out trying to figure things out because I automatically ruled it out just because it was new.
When you replaced the thermo, did you disconnect any of the bypass hoses? If so, did you make sure you connected them back correctly? Did you use any rtv on the housing? If so, squeeze-out may have gummed up the thermo.
If I recall correctly, I don't think it's possible to place the thermo upside down (with the pellet facing away from the block) - but then, again, that would usually cause overheating because the thermo would not open.
