This stumped me for a bit.. I thought my EXIF data was corrupted... See the text next to the word 'capture' and ITPC date in the info pane? Yeah, well, that's supposed to be a date (9/03/09) -- not random text.

I first checked the settings for the infopane...

That looks ok to me. Well, I check the itpc data, and nothing strange there. So I thought my image file was fine, or so I hoped. But I kept digging. I recognized that random text... it was from my code replacement file

It turns out the I had changed my code replacement delimiter to a '/' character (easier to type on my numeric keypad when entering code replacements)

So... it looks like
the contents of variables are being evaluated for Code Replacements... which I'm not sure is a good thing... I have a code replacement of '09' and a delimiter of '/' so when my dates have a '/03/' as they do from this shoot last september 3rd, the code replacement for my friend '3 Zoe' goes to work.
Bug or a feature? I don't know. I'm trying to think of a case to use this as a 'feature' because it could be potentially very powerful.
