WARCs from at least wpull 1.2.3 produce a warning of "Content block length changed from X to Y" for warcinfo records. Example:
> wpull --version
1.2.3
> wpull https://example.org/ --warc-file example.org --warc-max-size 1234567890 --delete-after
<snip>
> python3 -m warcat verify example.org-meta.warc.gz --verbose --verbose

The difference between the numbers is exactly the same as the number of lines in that warcinfo record body. I doubt that's a coincidence, but I wasn't able to narrow down the origin based on a brief glance over the source code. I imagine it has something to do with the block length being recalculated from the normalised field representation. If that interpretation's correct, then I think the warning should be suppressed in verify mode since it should be irrelevant when not writing out a new WARC.
