That the new header is being picked up seems the only viable explanantion
for the reported symptom. How it got there is irrelevant. Perhaps
re-installing glibc from source re-syncs the headers, I don't know. Or,
possibly, this system simply does not implement the glibc/kernel version
skew some distributions are so prone to.
