The answer:

As several people suggested, pkginfo is clearly getting the information from
somewhere else.  Christ Clark hit the nail on the head: there was a
/var/sadm/pkg/.save.OpenSSH directory and that was overriding the info
in the /var/sadm/pkg/OpenSsh file.  I deleted the directory, and all is well.
