>From TN2206 (http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#technotes/tn2007/tn2206.html):
The Parental Controls, MCX, and Application Firewall subsystems in
Leopard, when encountering an unsigned program, will ad hoc sign the
program in order to track its identity from launch to launch. This
will usually modify the program on disk, and can happen without
apparent user input, e.g., when the Application Firewall first notices
that your program is trying to accept an inbound network connection.
If your program can be damaged by signing, it is imperative that you
ship a signed version as soon as practical. Programs signed by their
manufacturer are not modified in this way.
Perhaps your preference pane isn't signed?
