Alexander,
That did it! I removed one of the offending .info files, ran selfupdate, and then when I ran index that file didn't appear anymore but it had been restored on the filesystem.
I suppose the next step is to just sudo over and remove all of these bad files? Or is there any reason it's worth investigating further?
Thanks, Alexis

Daniel,
Thanks for answering! In fact I really wasn't sure this was a malfunction, so it's good to have it confirmed it's not my imagination...
In response to your questions:
1) I am running "Package manager version 0.20.6" and "Distribution version: 0.7.0 cvs"
2) I am self-updating via rsync.
3) I don't get any errors or warnings before these warnings, and yes all these warnings are also produced by running 'fink index'
4) Waiting a few hours has no effect. I've been getting this reliably for days.
Here's a cut&paste from an excerpt of a log I produced by doing the command 'fink index > finkindex.log':

What happens if you remove one of the offending files (it should be restored by another selfupdate)?
