Yes, this is an upstream problem.  teTeX 2.0.2 is the last release,
which still has \def\filedate{2000/05/21}.

I'm not sure, Debian also still ships this file.  I have been working
with teTeX and web2c developers to get the tetex 3.0 prereleases
better prepared for Cygwin, and I'd rather spend time on that.
