The contents are created by MCMczWriter.  If the snapshot had no
definitions, it looks like it would cause an empty-but-valid mcz to be

So, my hunch is the problem is somewhere under #versionWithInfo: not
bringing in the snapshot definitions.  Seems amazing there could be a
problem with that though..
