DAZ Install Manager DIM lists some installed products as Ready to Download

When I started DIM today, I expected to see my Ready to Download list include only some products I purchased yesterday, and maybe a smattering of updating products. I did find one updated product, all of my new products, and dozens of DAZ products I have purchased over the years - in the Ready to Download tab. For lack of a better term, I'll call these OldReady products.
I cannot determine anything in common among the OldReady products that appear on both my "Ready to Download" and "Installed" tabs. When I hover over an OldReady product on either the "Ready to Download" tab or the Installed tab, there are "Install Date", "Installed By" and "Installed To" fields, and they are all what I expect and I see the same values for the corresponding OldReady product when I hover over it on the Installed tab.
Some of the OldReady products were purchased this year, some over the last two years. Some are tutorials, poses, clothing, characters, hair, iray shaders, environments. So, the order dates vary and the type of content varies, and other content with the same order dates or types of content are fine. I can't determine a pattern, but there are two sets of purchases I've made that stand out because of lot of items from Ravenhair and Alessandro_AM are in the OldReady list.
Is this known DIM behavior? Is there a way to force DIM to rebuild what's Ready to Download and what's Installed and list items on only one tab?

Have you chnaged the paths used for Package Archive (Downloads) and Manifests? I just checked and don't see any items waiting to be downloaded, nor have I had a batch of older items recently, but there were a few oddities a month or two back.
I didn't mention that after I discovered this behavior the other day, I went to the Ready to Download tab and selected Hide Package for all of the OldReady items.
Today, I took a look at Ready to Download, and the list was empty. So, I clicked the Show Hidden checkbox. The OldReady packages no longer appear in my Ready to Download list; there were only two packages listed on Ready to Download in total, even with Show HIdden checked! (I expected the two I found: PD Howler 11.4 and Headshop OneClick (WIN))
So, maybe it's merely an intermittant DIM bug, or maybe I unintentionally changed something and now DIM is building the correct list.
