Nice analysis, Mark! I wholeheartedly agree that users should not
receive an "out of date" error in this scenario. I've seen this
problem before and it has also puzzled me. Do you have a reproduction
recipe? It'd be great if we could add an XFAIL test for this issue to
the Python test suite.

Cheers,

David
