The most recent change to #primitiveDisplayString is stamped 5/31/2008
by 'dtl', which certainly looks suspicious on the face of it, but the
change is minor and unrelated to destX. The prior version is from
4/3/2005, so any functional change has probably been in the primitive
for a number of years.
