It isn't the jam log, but rather the old results xml file.

This is similar to several other problems we have with the current 
regression framework in that it can currently only be solved on the 
tester's machine. Test frameworks that store results on a central server 
would be an improvement in that such problems can be fixed (or more 
likely won't even occur in the first place) without access to the 
tester's machine. Hopefully, the CMake based testing under development 
will avoid this trap.
