Why do you say "source"?  Are there no SWCs involved?

I haven't seen anything like this, but some things to try are:

1) Compare its timestamp in the filesystem of the good one you grabbed
during the build against the "final-but-fossil" version. Which timestamp
is newer?  I would imagine the bad one is newer, which means that one of
the projects in the workspace is generating it.
3) Scan the .project and .actionscriptProperties files in the projects.
It is possible that one of the other projects has been told to generate
the same output file.
4) Do a detailed compare to make sure that the differences between the
good and bad is in fact what you would expect from source code history.
5) You could also scan .project and .actionscriptProperties files for
"ant" to make sure no Ant tasks are doing stuff during the build.
6) You could also try building a custom compiler that generates more
output to help you track it down.

My wild guess is there is some other project in your workspace that has
access to an old SWC that is generating the bad version.
