Abby Crabby 1.1 not quietly accepted?

What a strange day with Apple. Usually our submissions go through without a hitch, but today we've gone back and forth regarding the Abby Crabby 1.1 update. It's still not clear what it was all about. Were they concerned about our ESRB rating (4+)? Did they think we'd found that top secret Cocca Touch API for "explode the phone"? ;)

Here is the dialog:

Apple: Thank you for submitting Abby Crabby v1.1 to the App Store. Your release notes state "New explosive power up available on round 6+"; please reply to this email with clarification.

SMD: Let's clarify it with "New power ups available after round five".

Apple: Are the powerups characterized as red starfish?

SMD: We modified the probability of the Starfish appearing and the sound it makes when it pop's trash. The "explosive power up" previously mentioned is a TNT stick. It blows away trash when it's thrown up into the sea, like the Starfish, it doesn't hurt the crabs any more than the trash falling from above. Is this about ESRB? See the attached screen shots.

Apple: Your application status is Ready for Sale
