Also, water well when you do it, but give it a chance to begin dry a bit more between times if you're keeping it mostly wet. What's the new soil mix like? It may not have been the best time to transplant though, and waiting for dormancy could have been better.

Additionally, the leaves could be showing signs of damage from the summer heat in your area. Japanese maples in small containers generally don't do well in hot climates.
