Since I never back anything definitive on this, I decided to modify the dates on the VERS9703 node inside the file and see if that made the message go away. It did. I used a PIPE to do this (didn't want to risk an editor mucking up the format), which changed both :connect. and :lastup., so I can't say for sure which did the trick -- but I'd bet on :connect.
