This becomes a problem only if the servers are using the same key
to MAC the tickets. (If they're using different keys, the MAC 
won't match anyway, and server B doesn't need to know what version 
server A is using.)

But you're quite right, this could be a problem if one shares
the keys in heterogeneous environment, and the document should
probably warn about this.

Best regards,
