That scenario seems a little far fetched to me. Certainly, I didn't do this and I don't believe the prior owner did either. The calculator showed no evidence of being opened (intact original back label) and the front of the calc has all version 2 indicators (bump on 5 key, front label w/o 35). Unlike a Red Dot, where a fake might have great value, I don't think there's much to be gained by deliberately creating a buggy version 2. I have seen strange inconsistencies in serial numbers on other calculators, so I wouldn't put too much stock on that factor in this case.
