Great find Jay. I just knew I had read about that somewhere, and it happens on my workstation, but not others. This is very dangerous in a mixed drawing format environment. I was testing C3D 2015 (2013 dwg format) on some dwgs that had C3D 2012 (2010 dwg format) xrefs. It updated those xrefs to the next dwg version, I didn't want it to. Thank goodness for backups.
Lisa,
I was actually looking for a very recent post where it was something to the effect of their Xref's were being saved & hence upgraded to that version in the process but the xref''s needed to remain in an older version.
With the xref''s being upgraded it was messing up their convoluted mixed versions workflow, but I was unable to find that thread.
Scary stuff for sure!

I have seen several threads re: this issue, could This be what's happening?
Wow great find Jay! I read the "solution" in that thread. I'm curious about something. If two plans reference the same file and the two plans are at different scales, what does it do? Or even better yet, what happens when ONE plan references an xref but there are two mview's on the plan sheet at different scales (think of a plan and an inset)?
