I pushed commits that make this change to both REL_11_STABLE and
REL_12_STABLE. It's a total hack, but better than doing nothing.

Somebody just asked about checking the B-Tree version on -general, and
I pointed them in the direction of bt_metap(). I think that we'd hear
more complaints like Victor's if we left 11 and 12 alone.
