You're very clear. However, I don't know of any way that the change can
occur except deliberately. OTOH, if you have merge a dataset from someone
else that has changed the TemplatesPatterns, that might explain it although
I think that would cause a conflict which would require you to change one
of them to match the other before the merge and that leaves us back to
square one.
