As there are some jobs between those two you reported I suspect there 
was another attempt to run a full backup which was cancelled (either 
manually or automatically) to run a backup while the first full was 
still active.

This would have left an aborted or canceled full job in the catalog, 
forcing the incremental to get upgraded. Is that possible?
