Steve,
I've had this same situation since having my Omni 6 back from the factory 
upgrade to option 3. Don't remember it being present before the upgrade. I 
just always move the PBT and don't worry about it.

Think I'll dig around in there this week and see if I can find any clues. At 
least you know you're not the only one !
