So, does this mean that there's files in any of the tarballs  
listed at
  http://incubator.apache.org/stdcxx/download.html
that have an incorrect license header?

Incorrect might be too strong a word. IMO, "different" would
describe it better.

If so, you should be thinking about what to do with those releases  
-- like do a branch where you fix the headers and release new  
4.1.2.2, 4.1.3.2 versions to replace them, or simply pull the  
4.1.x releases and get 4.2 out quickly, or decide there really  
can't possibly be any problems for the users but add a warning to  
be safe, or successfully argue there's nothing that needs to be  
done, or whatever.

I'd like to argue that nothing needs to be done :)

The files are all licensed under the ASL, it's just that the text
is subtly (but in my layman opinion not substantively) different
from the most recent text at
http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html

Oh, in that case I also think (IANAL, blah, blah) it should be ok.  
We've had a bunch of different source headers, and on average we  
haven't pulled releases over them.

Thanks for clearing this up :-)
