This is a bug. The fix is to add the following at the end of Fork.java, after updating
the project branch name and version to reflect the result of the fork:

            // Update the signature for State 0 to reflect the new
            // branch and version, so the workspace will
            // not believe it has been modified.
            getWorkspace().setState(0, getWorkspace().getProject().getProjectSignature());

I've added this to my private branch. It should show up in CVS eventually.
