Someone mentioned this recently, and Eric's response was that they had 
switched PCB suppliers and there was a issue that boards had 'pips' in 
the wrong places.

He advised filing these off, as there are enough in the correct 
locations to hold the board in place. It's important that the metal 
cover and shield box make good contact, so if you have one of these 
boards it's a good idea to do this.
