I would have to check exactly what the differences are but there are other people who I bet have them in their heads ;-) while I vaguely recall that the DOS 2.6 in 1541 is not the same as DOS 2.x in other drives. This means there may be nuance differences, and if you write a D64 (from a 1541 disk?) to another drive using DOS 2.x things like you describe may show. Once you re-VALIDATE, the drive updates the metadata to what it expects, rather than what 1541 would expect.
