App Builder Strange Behavior

This isn't really a problem, but it bothers me.  I have a project that contains a library (both attached).  In the build spec, two of the files (Aux Data.ctl, and Step Data.ctl) used to go to a special destination (A separate app needed to load them dynamically).  I changed things so that I no longer needed those 2 files to be deployed in a special location. In the current build spec, they go into the .exe.

Here's what bugs me: several times during the build process, it's hunting for Aux Data.ctl and Step Data.ctl (but not for any of the other .ctl files).  Here is one of the message boxes that is displayed:

It's looking in the .exe. Eventually it finds the files and the build is OK. But why is this happening? I tried recreating the build spec from scratch, but the same thing happens.  What could be causing this?

I would say that, somewhere deep in the code, there lies instances of those controls that weren't updated, creating dependency issues.  Just a guess.
