Indeed, the warning message should use ~@[in plan ~A~].

This is indeed a very bad error message for users to see.
Admittedly, it's usually a symptom of a bug in the build system (or an
extension thereof), so users ideally never see them.

I don't know what the root cause is here, but this looks like the same
bug that is supposed to be fixed, and the fix works for me. Does
Jenkins use some fancy filesystem setup that confuses the timestamp
checking?
