+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #454492 +++

I had to re-pull my m-c tree to cope with seemingly unfixable residue from srcdir build configuration, and after distclean in my old tree (mozilla-centra.bad), I found, among the diff -r output against the freshly-cloned new mozilla-central tree, the following:

Only in mozilla-central/modules/plugin/default/mac: DefaultPlugin.xcodeproj
Only in mozilla-central/modules/plugin/default/mac: DefaultPluginPrefix.h
Only in mozilla-central/modules/plugin/default/mac: Info-DefaultPlugin.plist
Only in mozilla-central.bad/modules/plugin/default/mac: Makefile~

Some of this may be stale due to repeated incremental pulls, but it did cause me build grief, which distclean did not fix. That has to be a bug.
