I made a local copy of one of the pretest mirrors and then ran 'install-tl'.

I just figured out why it happened.  Here's a longer excerpt from the 
terminal output:

mktexlsr: Updating /usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf-var/ls-R...

It looks like tlmgr is doing the "Regenerating..." after setting the 
paper size.  Your grep probably missed it because it was in a compressed 
file.  It all makes sense now.
