Hopefully it's still correct but expressed another way; I'm just not
sure about it.

However I also realized sometime yesterday, though I didn't bother
posting until LP's mail queue got flushed, that the "spurious" files
likely are there sort of by design given the checkpoint/restart
logic. So I'm not sure whether the fix to remove them makes sense. I
probably won't have much time to look into it again until next weekend
though.

In any case, I do think that the recent improvements in archive
handling in 6.x are going to be very nice, and I particularly value
the ability to 'synchronize' the archive. In my case also in removal
of files, to avoid old "cruft" accumulating. But of course I don't
want to disable the checkpoint/restart feature either.
