OK.  I am rebuilding the training data now.  I'll definitely report back if "B" 
reappears.

However, I am working through two decades of pictures in small batches.  So 
I'm restricting the face detection scans to a years worth of images at a time.  
I run the detection once, then tag a few faces and run detection.  After 
confirming all those, I still have hundreds left in the Unknown bucket, so I 
tag a few more and repeat until everything is either confirmed or ignored 
before moving on to the next year.  I haven't yet finished year 2 :-)

Because of this, I don't know which images triggered "B".  I suspect that some 
pictures of this person show up as "A" and some as "B".  Thus, I don't have a 
ready test case for your Step 3, above.

All that to say: if I report nothing, it's only probabilistic evidence that 
retraining fixed the issue.  (unless I misunderstand something?)
