That's quite likely; when I re-rip stuff, it can be quite a while
before I get round to fixing all the playlists. (I use MediaMonkey to
find the errors, and foobar2k to fix them. Fiddly!)

However, when I wrote, I was waiting for a new/changed scan to finish.
When it did, the offending track had disappeared.

Should I do this (File Location) in the MIP GUI (as I suspect), or in
SC?  Perhaps moot, given the above; but it will probably happen again
sometime.

Yes, must archive the analysis anyway before it gets scorched
accidentally.  Am putting it off because it will mean an extra-long
backup next time (I use rsync), and in that case there are numerous
other "big cleanups" that I might as well do at the same time... and
(come to think of it) MIP still hasn't finished the analysis.

Come to think of it, adding new stuff to MIP is probably going to make
my rip / tag / rescan workflow even more complicated!  Ideally, I'd
only want to archive analysis of newly-added material; but (AFAIK)
there's no way to single out unanalyzed (but fingerprinted) tracks in
the MIP GUI. 

(I see there's an option to archive analysis on-the-go, but it's
greyed-out in my (free) version. Well, if it behaves itself well enough
for a month or two, I might upgrade.)

Thanks for your help and advice.
