Thanks to Martin & David for clearing this up...it was fairly simple if not obvious...
Convert the polygons to polyline and then re-convert to region (on the objects menu), the centroid will be reset to the expected position.

Select your polygons for editing 2. Choose Objects >> Convert to Polylines 3. Choose Objects >> Convert to Polygons It's a bit quirky, I know, but this method effectively regenerates the polygons and updates the polygon centroids according to MapInfo's standard algorithm. I can't recall exactly what this algorithm is, but a search through the archives should turn up something. I'm sure I read about it here once...
