[support] Removing Modules

[Brian Choc]

I just noticed something a bit weird(er) that feels correlated, to me.  
The Update Status module is not acknowledging updates.  So, even though 
I have updated to 2.2 of Pathauto, for instance, it is still telling me 
I am running the previous version and that I need to update to 2.2.

Before I start yanking things out of the DB by hand, I thought I'd ask 
if anyone else has faced anything similar or has ideas?  Changes in 
removals of modules are simply not registering.
