D'oh, good catch.  I suspect that then indicates this was a very late change prior to UNIX/TS introduction and filtered out to USG and Columbus, but PWB didn't get it in time and jumped to UNIX/TS in the 2.0 days.  Too bad we can't get a file schedule of PWB 1.1 or 1.2, I wonder if either had this brief change...

Still, that makes it less likely this is some USG shenanigans and just late C-UNIX stuff prior to portability work.
