Yes.

Okay, fair enough, but then why did it also do this later the same day
when I used a copy of Sage I had kept around but not used in several
months?  It wasn't the first time I'd used that copy (something like
3.2.1) but it was the first time in a while; certainly I hadn't
upgraded GAP.  Does it just happen every time a different revision of
GAP is used, up or down?

Incidentally, I think that if it's not odd, it is at the very least
mysterious to anyone not intimately familiar with startup code :)

This is not a bug, is not odd, and is not an inefficiency.  GAP get
started to recreate it's startup cache whenever GAP is upgraded.
