If you just added the "Ignore Fileset Changes" setting, that's the 
reason... this is considered a fileset change, and thus the next 
backup will be upgraded.

Later backups won't.

Sure... just run the DIR with debug output and tracing to file. You'll 
get lots of cryptic stuff - I recommend against that for your purpose.

If, on the other hand, the "Ignore Fileset Changes" option was present 
before and a fileset change still triggered a job level upgrade, you 
can verify which fileset is expected by using an SQL query.
