Yes I do see the headers in the ets table:

  4> ets:i(foo).
  [...]
  <12  > {log_header,dcl_log,"1.0","4.4.10",'bar@REDACTED',{1287,322033,2 ...
  [...]

}  They should not be in the table, they are what they say the  header of
}  a TABLE.DCL file.
}  
}  Either you or I have some improvements to do :-)

I did another database migration today, changing long node name
to short, on R13B04 yesterday and experienced the same results.
These header records don't show up in the items passed through
mnesia:traverse_backup/6 so it doesn't appear to be something
I'm doing wrong.

I'm going to work on demonstrating the problem as simply as possible.
