+Thank you for a textbook excellent reproduction recipe.
+
+What appears to be going on here is that meta directives are not processed
+until the leaf pages are rendered, and thus the ctime setting is not
+available at the time that they are inlined, and the newer unix ctime is
+used. On the second build, the meta data has already been recorded.
+
+This can probably be avoided by processing meta date at scan time.
