mdls ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Library

metadata attributes kMDItemContentModificationDate and kMDItemFSContentChangeDate both accurately reflect the change.

Is this some kind of characteristic of database files, or what?

Since I don't know the answers to that, please accept one of the following for the moment...
-- I'm on my iPad now, so I can't check. wink
-- I don't trust Finder, so Terminal is probably right. wink
