It's not a legal issue, it's a bug, we're telling people wrong information that may mislead them.

So I explained the issue to my mother and first she said "there have been changes to the document since signed" made more sense because "the old signed version was gone". Then I explained her that no, actually the old version is still also available inside the file and she said "oh well, then mentioning the revision thing is probably more accurate, but would still confuse people like me that didn't know the old version was available".

For a sample size of 1, the "there have been changes to the document since signed" (or better worded) wins by a slight margin.

Cheers,
