The "-" characters and unusual spacing are unwanted changes usually caused by some Microsoft "helpful" feature. If that only happened when you copied and pasted here there's no harm done, but if it's that way on disk it may be the cause of the problem. Check by opening it in Notepad or another plain text editor. If it's damaged, the simple solution would be to copy the file from the other similar host which is working correctly, the more thorough solution would be to uninstall and reinstall the optimized apps.
Assuming the file is good, it's hard to guess why BOINC 6.6.36 isn't doing what it should. Perhaps someone will recall a similar case with that version of BOINC. Incidentally, is it host 2979049 or host 2693912 which is stuck on 5.28?

I have reinstalled the the optimized apps just some hours before writing here.
I never edited app_info.xml (it is the original from optimized apps installation in both cases)
The host with GTX 260 (2979049) is going fine. all 6.03
The host with GTS 250 (2693912) is affected by the 5.28 problem
Do you need more info?

Just a quick controll, done with a file compare software.
app_info.xm in the two hosts are identical.

I'm stumped for now, but will think about it some more.

I have a machine in a similar state. The project is Einstein: there was a project Beta test of ABP1 v3.11
I have an app_info with a set of files, a 310 version block and a 311 version block (both referring to the same files). The host is crunching quite happily, but every new task is getting branded 310. I haven't done an exact byte-by-byte check, but it looks as if the 311 block is present and correct in both app_info.xml and client_state.xml, and both versions were listed in the latest sched_request to the project.
The strange thing is, this host is my old P4 Windows 2000 home server, running BOINC v5.10.13 - so completely unaffected by any recent BOINC developments. My other P4, my daily driver with a very similar app_info, is getting tasks branded 311 with the same version of BOINC.
So it rather seems it's the behaviour of the servers which has changed. Einstein has started limited (anonymous platform only) CUDA testing, so they must have updated their server code a bit - not that you'd know it from looking at their web pages, which haven't changed for a year or more - so I'm wondering if all the new <plan_class> code has undone the certainties like 'will assign highest version available' that we used to rely on.
