No.

OFFLINEIMAP LocalStatus CACHE DATA - DO NOT MODIFY - FORMAT 2

(note that my `head` is apparently BSD head rather than GNU head so -v
is not a valid option, but there's only one file present).

I get the same output on both of my misbehaving accounts.

I've noticed a discrepancy -- running head on the account that works
properly gives

OFFLINEIMAP LocalStatus CACHE DATA - DO NOT MODIFY - FORMAT 1

Any thought about why the working accounr is FORMAT 1 and both
non-working accounts are FORMAT 2?

Thanks for the feedback!
