The file /orangebox/steam_appid.txt containing the string "440" has always been there for me, just like the file /orangebox/tf/steam.inf which also contains the appid of the dedicated server, amongst other things.
I just ran a simple test, moving both files out of the way and ran an update of the server. The steam_appid.txt was not downloaded again, the steam.inf file was. I'm guessing Valve should either put the steam_appid.txt file back into the TF2 depot or render it obsolete and update the code so that it gets the appid from the steam.inf file.
