Another way of getting into this situation can be through use of a
network file share for storing the working copy, where the
workstation and the file server have time skew. That story would
cause the temporal discontinuity even from the command line, so your
report would appear to rule this out, but setting up these confirming
experiments can be darned finicky, depending on things like the
magnitude of the skew, so if you are in fact using such a set-up, it
might be worth confirming that your command-line experiment really
was equivalent to the Subclipse one.
