The exim4 binary on disk has been changed and now the running program
doesn't have the same binary as is on disk.

This was probably because you upgraded exim4 but the exim4 maintainer
scripts should have arranged to stop the daemon before the upgrade.

Looking at the bug report I think Marc Haber's explanation is
plausible.  I don't think there's evidence of a bug in
start-stop-daemon.
