So, running a dbcheck --fix changes this:

old, and faulty according to the dbcheck:

>  kAIAAgACAAIAAgACAAIAAgACAAIAAgACAAIAAgACAAIAAgACAAIAAgACAAIA

replaced with, after using --fix:

and obviously it changes whenChanged / uSNChanged.

I have not yet done it on my production domain. Waiting if perhaps 
someone else encountered this as well, and knows if the --fix has no 
side effects...
