It looks like this comes from http://rt.central.org/rt/Ticket/Display.html?id=18349
(the relevant delta is add-volupdate-counter-20051015 ). That delta  
was committed on HEAD for discussion, prior to the 1.5 branch being  
made. From the comments on the bug report, there seem to be a number  
of unresolved issues with this change, not least of which is the fact  
that it makes a non-backwards compatible volume format change.
