You've probably hit it on the head. The slave version is greater than the master version, so replication isn't "necessary". BTW, the version starts life as a timestamp, but then is simply incremented on successive commits, which accounts for what you are seeing.
You should be able to blow the index away on the slave and wait for replication and go from there. Another possibility: How much faith do you have in your slave index? If it's all good, you could simply copy *that* to the master manually and go from there. If you're rebuilding your entire index, just blow the master index away, re-index from scratch and that should work too (be sure to disable replication during the rebuild unless you want a partial index on the slave). Although copying the files *then* deciding not to use them doesn't seem like a good thing. Not sure if 3.x has the same behavior or not...
