I don't believe I have never seen it happen myself.

I am not sure I understand. Can you write a simple test case (it can be
just a shell script) that demonstrates the problem?

If there is something in the CVS/Entries file that should be updated and
is not, then that probably is a bug that should be fixed.

Does doing a 'cvs update' fix the problem?
