I'm trying to login to Mametesters but it's not accepting my login so I'm putting the issue here.
In Galaga, the rom boots to upside down screen and gets stuck in what looks like a service mode.

Does it happen each and every time?
Are you using mamedev.org's binaries? 64 or 32 bit?
Do you have -cheat enabled?
It is odd that the artwork would be flipped as well unless you have physically turned the display 180 degrees via the Video Options menu.

I'm using the official Mame .153 64-bit binary off mamedev.org. Not using -cheat.
I checked the other galaga iterations (galagamk, galagamw, galagao) and only galagamk has the same display issue as galaga.
I went back to Mame .152 and launched galaga with no display issues at all. In doing so, you get the Error due to invalid header, but it launched right side up.
Weird thing is, I went back to Mame .153 and re-launched galaga and it was displaying correctly!
I tried the same trick with galagamk but that one still displays upside down and gets stuck in the test mode.

You have something set up where you are using -autosave? This would only come up if there was an attempt to use a save state fails from a prevous version. It's possible you were working off an older autosave which, after the changes in devices for 0.153 (particularly here the namco customs) could be causing issues with your starting the game. There also might be uninitialized variables at play which can make start up very random.
Best test is to put mame in a new folder, put galaga.zip in roms and fire it up default settings (no other .ini/.cfg).

Works fine using the official mame64 .153 build. I bet he has the game rotated to 180 degrees. Try deleting any galaga.ini or nvram or cfg files.

It happen here sometimes. I don't do cheats. I guest it random. Hard reset sometimes get it to work right. Might be the nvram write issue.
Same thing happen to Dig Dug.
Been doing this before this release. I have reported this a few times on the other website on the live chat. You guys never gotten the report I guest.
Update: Hit F2 will make it auto reboot for some reason. With graphics issue. Well it is complete broken now. Hard reboot doesn't fix it.

readconfig 0
This will fix the loading issue. Something is broken.
After load Dig Dug and Galaga then close MAME. Turn the setting back on. Working like nothing happen after this.

There does seem to be something wrong after more testing. So far if you delete the cfg file of the game(s) having a problem it seems to work. Will try a few more games and test tomorrow before reporting on mametesters. So far dig dug and galaga are having problems. Not sure if it's something that was done to the galaga.c in the new update.

hap applied a patch yesterday to SVN which takes care of some uninit'd variables which is likely to correct the issue. There is no need to report to MT as I'll take care of that today.
