We've run into something similar with MDBs. In MDBs, Access automatically adds the Web Components when you create a new database, perhaps to support the DAPs. If the reference breaks, it may NOT show up in the reference list, but you need to recompile the app to be sure it's gone. I had to actually remove the dll from my machine to be sure of finding and squashing all those references lurking in our apps.
