One thing you could do is a file compare on the files if you still have the intermediate stage file.
At some stage, nib files are/were XML files and depending on the file, one nib file may be a package that contains more.
I'm looking at several nibs and xibs now (some back to IB V1) and it looks like there are some cases where there are nibs inside nibs, as well as multiple different flavors of data allowed to sit within a nib file, from plain old XML, to pList style XML, various key/value structures and what looks like an encoded reference table.
It would at least be interesting to see the structure change from V3 to 4.6.1 style to 5.0.2.
Yes, all of my 2- or 3-year old Automator action nib files contain multiple sub-nib files. When I named them something like "main.nib.new" on 10.7 Lion, their icons turned into folder icons and I could open the folders in Finder and see the subfiles/subfolders. When I named them back to "main.nib" they turned back into nib file icons.
I'm afraid I don't have time to fiddle with your questions in 10.9 Mavericks. At this point, I have discovered that the nib files in one of the other Automator actions also won't open in Xcode 5.0.2, so I have to boot back into 10.7 and open that one in Xcode 4.6.3, then hope that it gets "corrected" so that I can use it in 10.9 and Xcode 5.0.2.
