I'd have thought that it may well be their 'get out clause' in case of 
legal action from Leica.
I know we've been over this before and the patents are ages out of date, or 
only just out of date, but to stay clear they could maintain that their 
mount was different to Leica's because of this specification.
Small enough to make almost no difference but significant if necessary?

Sal,

If the body focus spec is different in any significant way, I would wager 
that it's not accidental.
