I don't see this on our test project, which runs BOINC trunk web code of SVN 
rev 24406, of roughly two weeks ago. I don't think that this is because 
of our customizations, but can't exclude this right now.

Could you point me to a project which has this? Could anyone point me to the 
code which does this?

I still find it overly complicated for both the participant and the BOINC 
server to have yet another setting to cover this case which I don't think is 
a special one, but if other projects got people used to that, I'd give in and 
adopt it.

Many thanks for the reminder! I have to admit that I have seen this message in 
so many cases where the server couldn't find a suitable App for all 
other kinds of reasons that I forgot about it possibly having an actual purpose 
for this case.

Best,
