When somebody gets a file through a different channel, e.g. via Web-CVS, or because somebody else sends it to him, the file won't have an identification in it. Is it a frequent occurrence for you that people report problems in versions that of VC they got from CVS in this way, without updating Emacs as a whole from CVS? Very few of the bug reports that I see seem to describe such cases.
