 At present the `last_updated` field includes some logic to ensure that it
 only gets set in the event that the plugin version changes (or couldn't be
 found, for reasons).

 Unfortunately the logic for the override is a little reversed, although it
 overrides it to the current date when the version changes, it doesn't
 apply outside of that - leading to `wp_insert_post()` updating the field
 itself every time a trunk commit happens or a manual import updates the
 post.
