This just occured in the Modern Cube on MTGO. I cast Approach of the Second Sun, opponent later restarts the game with Karn Liberated, I later cast Approach of the Second Sun and MTGO awards me the win. I cast AotSS twice: once before Karn's ultimate, once after the game restarted. From what I could find in the comp rules and some research threads on Karn, this shouldn't be the case. I was wondering if anyone had further input.
You're right, the post-restart game should be recognized as completely different from prior to the restart.

A game that restarts immediately ends the preceding game. The players in that game then immediately begin a new game. No player wins, loses, or draws the original game as a result of Karn’s ability.

No actions taken in the game that was restarted apply to the new game. For example, if you were dealt damage by Stigma Lasher in the original game, the effect that states you can’t gain life doesn’t carry over to the new game.
This might be a bug that has to do with how MTGO actually handles Karn's ultimate.
