Nope, it is just the symptom of an improvement. The .fix file is an old geotools specific trick to keep feature ids stable in face of feature deletion. The file is not actually needed until you edit the shapefile, but once it's there the reader has to assume it contains the feature id mappings and has to open it and scan it along with the .shx, .shp, .dbf and .qix. The shapefile store on trunk is just a little less clueless than it was and avoids creating the .fix file until it's actually needed
