Barry,
That's a good one that I don't believe I've seen before (and I used to teach
SMP/E courses).
I believe that I have found the answer. The key is that SYSMOD UA56739 is
performing a MACUPD to macros that have AAJESTA as a UMID (not RMID).
Careful reading of the first System Action provided for message GIM38201W
indicates that SMP/E will proceed with the APPLY (and produce a regression
report):
The SYSMOD supplies an update element, and the PRE and
SUP operands (1) specify the RMID of the previously
processed version of the element but (2) do not specify
all UMIDs of the previously processed version of the
element.
In this case, message GIM319xx or message GIM430xx
follows this message and names the updates in the
previously processed version of the element that the
SYSMOD does not supersede or specify as a prerequisite.
SMP/E processes the update supplied by the SYSMOD.
Cheers,
Alan

I ran the following apply check

SMPE generated the following diagnostics
GIM38201W THERE IS A MODID ERROR FOR MACUPD ENTRY $BUFFER IN SYSMOD UA56739.
GIM31902I SYSMOD UA56739 DOES NOT SPECIFY AAJESTA ON THE PRE OR SUP OPERAND.

GIM31902I SYSMOD UA56739 DOES NOT SPECIFY AAJESTA ON THE PRE OR SUP OPERAND.

It also marked the PTF as applied

And generated the following Regression Report
REGRESSING REGRESSED COMMON ELEMENTS CURRENT OTHER POTENTIALLY
SYSMOD SYSMOD TYPE NAME RMID REGRESSED SYSMODS

Since I did not specify BYPASS(ID), shouldn't the MODID mismatches be errors
instead of warnings? Shouldn't the PTF be marked NOGO?
The SMPE Commands manual on the z/OS 1.11 DVD (V3R5) states that regression
"can occur only when BYPASS(ID) is used to ignore such errors." Shouldn't the
Regression Report be suppressed and the PTF show up in the Causer Report?
